On Thursday Johnny and Bella read a book called Shadow Puppets for reading. The book taught them how to make shadow puppets and after reading they made their own. On Friday we decided to make our own shadow puppets. Miss Ward read the story to the class. We learnt that when something blocks light it creates a shadow. We also talked about things like a sundial and a solar eclipse.
To make our shadow puppets we took a black piece of paper and drew our puppet on it. We then cut it out and taped a straw on to it. We talked about how we had to cut things like eyes and mouth out because you wouldn't see it in the shadow if you just drew it. After making our puppets we created plays using them. We used the light from the data projector to make the shadows.
