Maple have had a fun time today learning all about mirrors. We earned that mirrors reflect light because they are smooth, flat and shiny. We also learned that mirrors reverse the image they reflect. We tested this with some mirror writing and by playing with chalk! Maple class had to follow some wiggly lines but they were only allowed to look in the mirrors they were holding on their heads!

This is a strategy game a little bit like chess. The class were amazing at the game and had a lot of fun playing it. Have a look at some pictures of us playing the game.
