Our New Journey begins

We have 'blasted off' towards new learning...our journey will take us to the heavens and back to determine where we would be without the Sun!

There is so much up above us, and we have enthusiastically started discussing Space, completing our own Space books, reading and looking at pictures and much much more.
Yesterday we played a fun game called 'Shadow Tag' - jumping on everyone else's shadows while keeping our own out of everyone's way!
A lot of fun.

We brainstormed our initial thoughts on Shadows...

Juliana-Shadows can dance.

Angela-Shadows can walk.

J-Shadows can run.

Emil-They can jump.

Tessa-Shadows can skip.

J-Shadows can hop.

Harrison-Shadows can swim.

Matthew-Shadows can crawl.

Kody-The sun makes shadows.

Hannah-Shadows can slip.

Reihana-They can put 1 leg up.

Avan-They are black.

Benjamin-It’s like a little friend that does what you do.

Tatenda-Shadows can let go of you…just lift your legs up.

Brooklyn-What ever you do your shadow does it.

Matthew-Shadows can be under the swimming pool when you dive.

J-Shadows can do anything.

Ashleigh-Shadows need sun so we if there wasn’t sun we couldn’t make shadows.

Angela-If you jump shadows jump.

Ti’a-Shadows can sit.

Reihana-Shadows come from the concrete – it’s on the concrete.

Benjamin-The way they make shadows is quite different to your body. On the ground it’s grey but you’re not grey. I think that shadows do what ever you do.

J-Shadows can do a star jump.

Emil-Shadows can jump.

Matthew-When you swim you can see your shadow on the ground in the swimming pool.

Tatenda-Shadows can spin.

Brooklyn-Where ever you go your shadow goes with you.

Kody-Sometimes it doesn’t go with you because the sun goes behind a cloud.

Avan-Shadows can do hopping and jumping.

Ashleigh-Shadows go wherever you go.

Mrs Hawkins-Shadows can grow and shrink.

Benjamin-I think if you get a big scare your shadow will get out of you and you will fall over because your shadow is what holds you up.
