Our science topic 'LIGHT' provided lots of cross curricular learning opportunities. We created silhouettes of ourselves to display around our room and made a shadow theatre by reusing offcuts of colourful card and paper to decorate a cardboard box.
In English our Tales, Fables, Myths, Legends and Parables unit provided inspiration for imaginative story telling with shadow puppets. We practised story telling and the various voices different characters might have.
We had already learned in our science lessons that light travels in straight lines. Our shadow theatre work reinforced this.
Finally we looked at how our eyes work and the importance of protecting them from the sun. We upcycled some 'London 2012' sunglasses by decorating them with card and paper scraps.
