Today, Year 5 focused on understanding how the eye works, exploring the different parts of the eye, the blind spot, and how eyesight can change over time. The children learned about key structures such as the pupil, iris, lens and optic nerve, and discussed how each part plays an important role in helping us see. They were fascinated to discover the existence of the blind spot and what it reveals about how the brain processes visual information. Some pupils also took part in a practical experiment, completing an eye test from different distances to observe how clarity of vision can vary.
