GRADE 1/2/3 SCIENCE

In Grade 1/2/3 we have been learning about light and how the human eye works.

“I now know that the pupil is a hole, not just a black circle”.

• Chloe

 “The coloured bit of your eye is called the iris.”

• Ruby

 “The eyebrows stop sweat and dirt coming down into your eyes”.

• Will

 “I didn’t know that the coloured band was called the iris”.

• Myra

 “When you’re in a dark area your pupil is really big and when it is light, it is very small.”

• Henry

 “If you go into a spot with lots of light then you don’t need all of the light around you and you block out some of the light around you. When you’re in a darker space the pupil opens so that you can draw as much light in as you need”.

• Chloe

“We blink to protect our eyes. You blink when you think something is going to hurt your eye.”

• Ben

 “The optic nerves cross over”.

• Chloe

 “The image comes in upside down and the brain switches it over the right way.”

• Myra

 “When you blink is moistens your eyes.”
