    The activity set that I have chosen is ‘The sun and Shadows’. There is a wide variety of different ways that children can explore the sun and shadows.

    ·       Class Discussion about the sun and what happens when you stand in the sunlight (KWL chart). Explain shadows.

    ·       Go outside and see if there are any shadows outside. Can the children stand in an area where they can make their own shadow?

    ·       Create a sundial activity which was included in Module 2. Watch the shadow move and change throughout the day.

    ·       Integrate with Art – Shadow Drawing Activity. If it is sunny, this can be completed outside. If it is not sunny outside this can be done inside with a torch. Create a shadow pictures using toy animals and other classroom materials.

    ·       Get children to create a shadow puppet using their hands and a flashlight. Work in groups with an IPad to create a simple story with their shadow puppets.
