Working in collaborative groups, the students explored a range of investigations connected to their current unit of study on heat and light energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the session, students examined how shadows change, how light behaves when it strikes different materials and whether all materials conduct heat in the same way. They also participated in an engaging activity modelling the structure of the eye. The students\u2019 thoughtful contributions and collaborative approach highlighted the strong inquiry skills they have been building in class. This experience provided a valuable opportunity for students to extend their scientific thinking in a real laboratory setting and deepen their understanding of key concepts in heat and light energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ms Kelly Garcia<\/strong> <strong>and Ms Louise Harris<\/strong><br>Year 3 Teachers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"22056\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5929.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"22058\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-145x109.jpg 145w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_5936.jpg 1359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"22057\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424-950x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424-950x1024.jpg 950w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424-278x300.jpg 278w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424-768x828.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424-139x150.jpg 139w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7424.jpg 1278w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"22055\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22055\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422-768x1025.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422-112x150.jpg 112w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/72\/2026\/08\/IMG_7422.jpg 1003w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Year 3 recently visited the Santa Sabina science labs, where they engaged in a series of hands-on experiments supported by the Science faculty and a group of enthusiastic Year 10 students.
