Year 3 used their understanding of light and shadows to perform a Shadow Puppetry Show for Reception.
The children used boxes and torches (and the Rainbow Value of Thinking) to investigate how light travels in a straight line, that our eyes need light in order to see and to learn that darkness is the absence of light.
They then worked collaboratively to plan a show of a Traditional Tale. They needed to design and make shadow puppets with moving parts and a shadow puppet theatre to perform in. They needed secure understanding of opaque, transparent and translucent objects in order to make their puppets as effective as possible.
