I would love to do an activity looking at sun and shadows. I would generate discussions on shadows and how at the end of this year we had some chalk art fun and some kids were drawing their friends shadow! I would bring my students out to the playground in the morning and get them to draw their friends shadow using chalk. We would then come out at lunch time and check can we fit in our shadows. We would do the same in the afternoon. We would mark our shadows with little cards at what time we made them. Children will see how as the day goes on their shadow will change! and how the sun helps us tell the time!! This is called a sun dial. Children would have so much fun with this hands on activity and would love to work wither friends on drawing their shadows. We could also mark our shadows with little rocks. This would be a lovely activity for term 3 when summer arrives!
