For British Science Week, children created Sundials!

As part of British Science Week, children created Sundials. They learnt that a sundial works by using the Sun’s light to create shadows and most have a ‘gnomon’ – a thin rod that will cast a shadow onto a flat plate. The Earth is constantly rotating on its axis, which means the position of the Sun appears to change in the sky throughout the day. The position of shadows, therefore, also changes throughout the day and, by tracking this, we can measure the passing of time.
This week in History, we had great fun creating Pictish sand stones. We used the Ogham alphabet used by Picts to carve our names onto the stones!
