Text: The Light Jar.
Author: Lisa Thompson.
The chicken was sitting on the back doorstep and she squawked
when I rushed inside, my wet feet skidding on the kitchen floor. I ran up to Mum’s room and
grabbed the bag, which I’d emptied apart from one thing. I sat on her bed and slowly undid the zip. There it was, nestling in the corner as if it had been waiting for me all this time. My birthday gift. My birthday gift from my mum. I carefully undid the sticky tape and beneath the blue, spotty wrapping paper were layers and layers of yellow tissue, protecting whatever was inside. I unpeeled them one by one, my hands trembling, and then finally, there it was. My present. It was a light jar. The most beautiful light jar I had ever seen. My heart pounded as I unscrewed the silver lid and took out the little bunch of light. I found the switch and clicked it on and the tiny bulbs twinkled against the glass. It looked magical. Monday 25th January 2021. Read along with Miss Smith. Watch the video Year 3 Reading Fluency – The Light Jar on our MPJS YouTube channel. Read along with Miss Smith – make sure you are using your reading finger to follow along. We are going to look at some of the vocabulary together.

5. Learning Question
Macro Question: What does reflection mean to a scientist?
Monday 25th January 2021.
Micro Question 1: How does light travel?
Let’s recap our learning about light.
What can you remember about light? Write down all your ideas on the mind map below.
Think about when we looked at light and dark.
Light.
Watch the video below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbssgk7/articles/z2s4xfr
Read the information and answer the questions underneath.
Light is a type of energy that makes it possible for us to see the world around
us. We need light to see. Light comes from different sources called light
sources; our main natural light source is the sun. Other sources include fire,
stars and man-made light sources such as light-bulbs and torches.
Some animals, such as fireflies and glow-worms, are light
sources. Plants use light to make food and grow. Without
light, we wouldn’t have anything to eat as plants are an
important source of food for humans and animals.
Glow-worms in a cave.
Light travels in a straight path called a ray. It travels faster than anything else on our planet! It travels so fast that it takes just 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach Earth! The sun is 93 million miles away from Earth! Now, answer the questions. Hint: the answers are in the text! Name 3 sources of light? 1. ____________________________________________ 2. ___________________________________________ 3. __________________________________________ Can animals make light? __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________ Why do we need light? __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________
Sort the images into natural light sources or man-made light sources. You can write a label

Sclera Ciliary Muscle Pupil Iris

Watch the video:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgdmsbk/articles/z7by92p
The eye is a ball with a hole at the front, the pupil covers the hole and lets in light.
The iris surrounds the pupil, this is the coloured part of our eye.
Inside the eye is a lens which helps to focus the light onto a surface at the back of
the eyeball.
Retina
The back of the eyeball is called the retina and is made up
of lots of special cells.These cells detect light and send messages
to our brain, allowing us to see.
How does light help us to see?
1. Light rays from the light bulb
travel in a straight line and hit the
chair.
2. The ray of light bounces off the
chair and travels in a straight line
to the girl’s eyes so she can see
the chair.
Draw the lines on each diagram to show how the light travels to the girl’s eyes so she can see each
object.

6. Sixth – Learning question Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th January 2021. Micro Question 3: Which materials absorb light and which materials reflect light? We are going to do an experiment over the next 2 days! Watch the YouTube video: Year 3 Science – Light lesson 3 & 4 where I will explain in more detail what you need to do!
For this lesson you will need a torch, this can be the torch that is on a mobile phone if you
don’t have one.
Watch the video:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zbssgk7/articles/zqdxb82
What is reflection?
Light travels in a straight line. When light hits an object, it is
reflected (bounces off). If the reflected light hits our eyes, we
can see the object. Some surfaces and materials reflect light
well. Other materials do not reflect light well.
We will be testing which objects absorb light and which
objects reflect light. First, we will need to write step by step
instructions (a method) for how we are going to do the
experiment.
Write your instructions below.You can use this to help you.
Make sure you are writing your method in your own words.

Thursday 28th January 2021.
Write a prediction for the experiment. What do you think will happen?
For example: I think that the exercise book will absorb the light because the surface of the book is
not shiny.

__________________________________________Let’s fill in our results table!
Your headings for each column are object, prediction, absorbed and reflected.
Row
Results.
Column

Exercise Book Absorbed
Reflected
Let’s do the experiment.
In order to test the materials, you will need to make a reflection
tester.
Attach the piece of card in your pack to a torch:
1. Cut a hole in the centre of the card and push the torch
through so that the card fits snugly around the torch without
you having to hold it. If you are using a phone then you may
have to hold the card.
2. Shine the torch at the material you are testing.
3. If the material reflects light well, you will see the reflected
light shine through the white card and light it up.
4. Record your results in your table.7. Seventh – Maths fluency
