Reflections
In our story this week, the little boy manages to catch a star because he notices a reflection of a star in the water. We would like you to investigate reflections and reflective materials around your home.
Try it out – Find as many things or places where you can see your own reflection. Try the TV screen when it is turned off, windows, mirrors, shiny surfaces like spoons. What do you notice?
You could make a list of the things you find, draw a picture or take a photo.
Extra activity – Talk about why some people need reflective clothing?
Eg. Emergency Services, Construction Workers
If you have anything reflective clothing you could test it out by placing it somewhere dark and shining a torch or the light on a mobile phone, towards it. What do you see?Expressive Arts and Design
