Shadows

The children are exploring the idea of shadows. They have been hunting and creating shadows and theorizing about their existence.

The children located shadows in our classroom and school environment. Here, a child captures a shadow underneath the water table using a black china marker.

After tracing their choice of shadow, the children painted them using watercolour paints. They used photographs of their shadow to help them create the correct shades of grey by mixing  black and white.

 We created a "shadows" display out in our hallway. The children assembled the pieces of their work and explained their developing theories about shadows.
