The file contains the following resources:
– an editable teaching presentation for the lesson which also explains the task
– 4 editable mini mirror investigations that allow children to explore mirrors
– 4 editable differentiated activities – shape symmetry, alphabet symmetry, maze activity and secret message activity (these activities could also be given as challenges or next step marking activities)
– an editable post topic assessment task to assess what children have learnt throughout the Y6 light topic
