Last week we focused on rainy weather. The boys enjoyed a sewing activity where they used blue thread on white binca to look like rain drops. They are on display in the classroom if you wold like to come and have a look!

 

This week we have been thinking about the sunshine. As we were blessed with a sunny day yesterday we went outside to look at our shadows. We discussed how shadows were made and used the Smartboard in the classroom to make more shadows.

You might like to continue to observe shadows at home. You could discuss the following; Do shadows get bigger / smaller? Can they move? Are shadows ever colourful? Can you see designs or patterns on shadows?

We also watched some shadow puppetry on the internet. You might want to have a look on You Tube for some more examples of this.
