Together we investigated reflective surfaces, how reflections work and the scientific processes involved by taking part in three different challenges: ### Mirror Writing- In pairs, we wrote secret messages to one another by using a special code. This was done by writing our message first then copying how the message looked when reflected in the mirror, this at first looked like jumbled up letters and symbols but our partners had to decode them by using reflections again. ### Mirror Maze- This task tested our skills in the mixed up world of reflections, in small groups we had to navigate a tricky mirror maze, by only looking at the reflection of the maze and our hands. Sounds easy, but it really wasn't! ### Mirror Multiplying- By sellotaping two mirrors together we created a hinge, we then explored how reflections work by placing objects within this. ![](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/images/Class%203/BeFunky_Collage(54).jpg) Take a closer look at our photos in our [photo gallery!](http://www.aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/photo-galleries/autumn-term-2-2017) [Science](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/science) [ Homework Hero](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2017-11-14-08-27-10-homework-hero) [Homework Heroes - Autumn 2 - Week 3 ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2017-11-16-11-33-27-homework-heroes-autumn-2-week-3) ### Comments ##### Evie *17 November 2017* I really enjoyed doing the mirror writing, it was really good! I loved it ##### Kara *17 November 2017* Ava, Millie, what can you see? ##### Leighton *30 November 2017* It was really hard but i still had lots of fun ### Leave a Comment ![Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer(4).png) ### Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School Lane, Aberford Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 3BU 0113 2813302 0113 2813302 ### Useful Links - [About Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Contact Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/AberfordPrimary) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
