Knowledge and Understanding of the world - Shadows

We found out that the biggest source of light is the sun and we went outside to investigate shadows.  The children enjoyed drawing around each others shadows.





 The children were amazed at how much bigger their shadows were than them!







The children experimented with creating shapes and seeing if they could 'catch' their partners shadow!




Following all our work on Shadows the children created a shadow theatre and puppets from the story 'The Elves and The Shoemaker'.  They enjoyed re-telling the story to the class.
