In this programme, they review both their lessons with a detailed look at what happened in the classroom. Claire uses a story about a teddy needing some new sunglasses to inspire her Year 3 class. The children design and make new sunglasses using light sensors to assess the best materials for lenses.Sukhbinder's Year 5 investigate solar eclipse and are asked to predict the consequences if an eclipse lasted for a very long time. The children work in groups and make presentations to the rest of the class at the end of the lesson. Throughout the programme, Claire and Sukhbinder candidly comment on their triumphs and misgivings.
