Light and shadow!

Our new science topic is light and shadow.

Today we learnt that a shadow is made when an object blocks a light source.
We went out into the playground with our shadows and tried to get away from them! It wasn't easy!
We found 2 ways of getting away from your shadow.
1) To hide in a shadowy place or in someone else's shadow.
2) Jump up high to get away from our shadow!

Here are some pictures of us getting away from our shadow



We then came inside and discussed what would happen to our shadow as the sun moves throughout the day.  We think that our shadow will move even if we stand in the same place! 

We will investigate that next lesson! 

Here is a photo of Kaia's diagram and her thought shower of everything she knows and what Kaia would like to find out during our topic.
