Shadow and Light

We love our lightbox.

We love our over-head-projector.

We love to play with light.

We love shadow play!

Our St. Paul’s Promise “I am a great learner” supports children to be

Resourceful

Reflective

Absorbed

Involved

Playing with light and dark, making shadows and playing with colours has really supported children to be immersed in their play, returning again and again to notice, explore, transform, to wallow in their explorations and fascinations.

We wonder if some of the children were making connections to the light and shadow they saw at the theatre?
