Broadford's Got Shadow Talent

In Science this half term Year 5 and 6 have been learning about light and shadows. 

This afternoon, Willow were learning about how shadows are made bigger and smaller. They were inspired by watching a video clip of Britain's Got Talent winners, Attraction, in their first audition in front of the judges. 

Miss Reynolds challenged the children in Willow to recreate a part of Attraction's performance, demonstrating how to make shadows bigger and smaller. The children were allowed to use their bodies and make some shadow puppets. 

"It was quite challenging!" said James. "It was much harder than I thought it was going to be to make an effective shadow. I figured out that if you move the puppet closer to the light then the shadow looks bigger, but move it further away and it looked smaller." 

The results, as you can see, were very pleasing! Well done Willow!
