Day 3: 13.11.13 SHADOWS
Everyone had a partner, who drew around our
shadow with chalk.
At 9.30am, we faced the sun, and our shadow was
long, out behind us.
At 12.30pm, we put our feet in the same place,
and our shadow was small to the right of us.
At 2.30, we put our feet in the same place, and
our shadow was in front of us. We can
see that our shadow is moving around us in a circle. We predicted that it will have moved around
again by 4.30.
Constable Viv gave us a challenge: “Where will
the shadow be at 10pm tonight?”
A few children had ideas, but only Prentice and
Max knew the answer. There will be NO
shadow, as there is no sun!
This is what we learnt today about shadows:
RAt different
times of the day the shadows move.
RWhen the sun
moves around, the shadow moves around.
RWhen the
clouds block the sun, the shadow disappears.
RWhen you
move, your shadow moves.
RAt night
there is no shadow because there is no sun.
RWhen the sun
is front of you, your shadow is behind you.
RWhen the sun
moves, the shadow is different.
RThe sun makes
the shadow, and it’s like a reflection.
RWhen you walk,
your shadow follows you.
RYour shadow
goes a different way later in the day.
RWhen the sun
is out you can see your shadow, but not when the clouds cover the sun.
RWhen you are
facing the sun, you can’t see your shadow because it is behind you.
RWhen you run,
your shadow follows you.
RIn the
morning my shadow was long, it at lunch time it was little.
RWhen you
play, the shadow plays too.
RWhen you
jump, the shadow is still on the ground.
RWhen you do
something, the shadow copies you.
