This week, our spectacular Year 6 scientists put on shadow plays (an ancient form of storytelling) using flat cut-out figures (shadow puppets), which are held between a source of light and a translucent screen.
As a part of our light topic, the children were challenged to identify how shadows are created, thinking about which materials would cast the most defined shadow and where the light should be placed to ensure the characters were aptly sized. Much fun was had, especially as the traditional tales - which were performed - included some hilarious Year 6 twists!
