Exploring light

This term in Science our learning has focused on forms of energy, including light, heat and sound. We spent some extra time exploring shadows and natural light outdoors. Here's a glimpse at some of the hands on learning that was captured.


Creating shadows

Looking closely 

Careful observation and relaxing

Living things create shadows in sunlight

Our new rainbow blocks were a huge hit outside 

Structures emerged

Conversations and decisions were made



The 'light table' was a very popular place for a couple of weeks. All things shiny and reflective were gathered for play and inspiration. Flashlights and kaleidoscopes created magic. Gems stones, metallics and mirrors reflected light. 





We constructed a shadow puppet box to experiment with hand puppets. It was fun making animals with our hands and letting friends guess. The kids enjoyed using the coloured blocks inside as well.
