Shadows

This term Room 6 drew some shadows with chalk for our Space topic.

We had to go outside just before morning tea, before lunch and after Phonics to draw around our shadows to show how they change throughout the day.
We found out they moved as the sun moves through the sky during the day.

 This is Tyrone and Josh. Tyrone is drawing around Josh's Shadow.

 This is Saiyan and Will. Will is drawing around Saiyan. We had to stand in exactly the same spot each time we drew our shadow.

 Ashley and Carys are talking about how to draw their last shadow because Room 5's classroom was blocking the sun.

Here is what some Room 6 'ers enjoyed about this activity:

Mere - I liked going with Tamsin to draw the shadows.

Ashley - I liked drawing around Carys's shadow.

Carys - I liked drawing around Ashley's shadow too! 

Josh - I enjoyed drawing Tyrone's shadow.

This is what our shadows looked like after we had drawn around them three times.

Look at how they have changed.
