Sensational Shadows.

On 18th June we went on a trip to the Horniman museum. We had a busy day, we had  a puppet workshop, visited the aquarium and enjoyed the lovely outdoor musical instruments in the sun.

Our current science topic is light and shadows so we were very interested to find out about shadow puppets. We looked at two types which were from India and Bali, the Indian puppets were made from transparent coloured plastic and the puppets from Bali were made from card.

Here we are performing our own shadow puppet shows. We had to make sure we ducked out of the way when puppeteering so our bodies didn't block the light.

 Here we are enjoying the aquarium.
