We looked for the shiny objects in the boxes...but we couldn't see them! I was puzzled and said to the children 'But they shine so brightly out in the classroom, why can't I see them in the box?'
Very quickly the children were able to tell me that shiny objects don't have their own light, they need other light to 'show them up'.
We shone torch light into the box and looked through another hole. With the torch light reflecting off the objects we could see what they were!
The children worked well in partners to identify the objects!
The children seem to be enjoying this topic and learning a lot.
