Class L2

Welcome to L2

Topic Description – Spring (1) 2023

Glorious sunshine casts curious shadows but we will explore Why does my shadow follow me? Do you like the dark? Why don't we have a shadow when it is dark? It's time to explore night and day, and light and dark in this project all about shadows.

This half term, we'll head outside to go shadow hunting, exploring our environment to find and make shadows. How will our movements affect our shadows? Back in the classroom, we'll investigate light by using torches and kaleidoscopes, discovering which materials light does and doesn't shine through. On a journey around school, we'll spot different light sources and trace around the shadows outside. Will these shadows change throughout the day? In our literacy lessons, we'll predict and complete rhyming strings and write about the different things we do in the day and at night. Within maths we will we'll explore 2-D and 3-D shapes, grouping objects and making patterns. Getting creative we'll try out some shadow puppetry, make lava lamp sensory bags and craft beautiful sun catchers to display at home.

At the end of the project, we'll reflect on what we have learnt about light and dark, draw shadows and look back through our learning journey book we will create.
