What to do today

1. Read the start of a book

• Look closely at the Front Cover of Way Home.
• Make brief notes about five things that you notice and what you think might happen in the book.
• Read First Page Text. Is this how you expected it would be from the front cover. What do you think about Shane? What do you think might happen?
• Listen to the Reading of the first part of the book, stop the video at 6.14, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjzP18bsSdQ.

2. Answer questions

• Read Book Questions. Think carefully about your answers.
• Write your answers as sentences making a paragraph for each section.

3.  Make predictions

• Use Development/Resolution to note down with words and pictures what you think will happen in the rest of the book.  
• Write about your predictions. What will happen to Shane? What will happen to the cat? How might the story end?

Try and have a go at some of the experiments below and explain your findings:

`1. Bouncing spotlight

 2. Kaleidoscope

 3. Splitting Light

 4. Bouncing Beam

 5. Magic Coin 

Hint:

Light travels in straight lines.

Reflection: Light bounces off objects, changing its direction and reflecting back.  Smooth, shiny surfaces (such as a mirrors) reflect light well.

Refraction:  When light moves between different mediums (water, glass ...) it slows down; it gets bent.

Light is made up of 7 colours - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Shadows are created when light travelling is blocked by an object.
