In Year 5 Gaea class we have been focusing on ‘Light’. We have looked at how shadows are formed from a light source. The children have had fun experimenting in different ways, for example shining a torch on objects that are: opaque, transparent and translucent. With their findings, they created puppets to show how shadows are formed. They had fun linking their puppet shows to familiar stories, especially High Rise Mystery; our class book. Enjoy!

We will always remember.

As we gather to celebrate,

Bittersweet victory from fate,

Now together all should reflect;

Their hope for a better day.

I’ll remember their sacrifice,

I’ll remember the freedom won,

I’ll remember and not forget;

Their hope for a better day.

I’ll remember, like the wind through the trees,

I’ll remember, like the stars that I see,

I’ll remember, like the haunting blue sea;

Their hope for a better day.

I’ll remember, as the sun makes its play,

I’ll remember, at the close of the day,

I’ll remember, for eternity;

Their hope for a better day.
