Light and Shadow Theatre

Lately I have noticed that whenever we turn the projector on, to look up information on the internet, the Kinders almost always put their hands up to see their shadow. This inspired me to create a light and shadow theatre in our classroom! Just like most theatres, the Kinders must receive a ticket before entering the theatre. This is obtained by writing their name and date on a "Theatre Ticket!"

 The Kinders were beaming with excitement as they discovered all the different ways to play and learn in the centre. On the small light table, the Kinders are invited to experiment the transparency of different objects. Currently, there are books about constellations and outer space. Today the Kinders put on one of the constellation background transparencies and began to replicate some of the constellations they were seeing in the book! 

On the other side of the centre, we have a shadow theatre. It was inspiring to see how well the Kinders worked together to create a collaborative story using the shadow puppets. One of the Kinders pointed out that when the disco ball was spun, it made it look like stars were shining in our classroom! Here are some photos from opening day:
