We have begun learning about shadows, using light and colour. As a big part of our unit is to develop oral language skills, the children are working with a buddy to develop a project to create over the course of the week. The children will share their ideas in small groups and with the class. Working with a buddy also develops co-operative learning skills and relating to others.
To begin the unit we watched this youtube clip. The comments below are from some of the children immediately after watching it.
