CONTEXT
Greetings from the future, Time Agents. The time has come once again to call on you to help avert a time disaster. I am Aega, your Time Council guide and I request your presence at the edge of the time line. Time anomalies are beginning again and we suspect that Vortex is once again behind the disruption. Investigate the anomalies and present the information you find to The Time Council in order to restore the timeline. Protect the past. Save the future!

What is Yom Kippur and why is it important to Jewish people?Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, is the holiest day in Judaism, observed with fasting, prayer, and repentance to seek forgiveness and spiritual renewal.
What is the importance of some of the rituals and traditions at Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and how they are linked to Jewish beliefs? At Rosh Hashanah, Jewish people blow the shofar (a ram’s horn) and eat sweet foods like apples and honey to celebrate the New Year and ask for a good and happy year ahead.On Yom Kippur, they spend the day praying and saying sorry for any mistakes they’ve made because they believe it is important to make things right and have a fresh start.

National Curriculum:
Light
recognise that light appears to travel in straight lines
use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain that objects are seen because they give out or reflect light into the eye
explain that we see things because light travels from light sources to our eyes or from light sources to objects and then to our eyes
use the idea that light travels in straight lines to explain why shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them
Discussions, Sharing ideas/views
WOW! Practical Introduction
What Colour Is Light?
Ask the children to think about what colour they believe light to be. Show them the pieces of coloured paper stuck around the classroom, and ask them to go to stand under or next to the one that is the colour of light. Tell them you will come back to this question at the end to see if their thoughts have changed.Give the children a torch, a prism and a piece of white card and ask them to prove what colour light is.They should see the light ray split into the colours of the spectrum.
Investigations:
What is refraction?
How are shadows formed?

How does light travel, and what does this mean for how we see objects?Light travels in straight lines. This means we see objects because light either comes directly from a light source into our eyes or reflects off objects into our eyes.
Why do objects appear visible to us?Objects appear visible because they either give out light (if they are a light source) or reflect light from another source into our eyes.
Why do shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them?Shadows have the same shape as the objects that cast them because light travels in straight lines and cannot bend around the object, creating a shadow with the same outline as the object blocking the light.
