Day and Night – Exploring Shadows, Light and Poetry through Puppetry

Best suited to KS2, Years 3 – 6

Start by watching a beautiful shadow puppet version of David Windle’s poem ‘Day and Night’. Then meet the filmmaker, who explains the shadow and light techniques she used to make the film and the puppets. Follow a video workshop showing you how to make your own translucent shadow puppets. We also include teacher notes with information and ideas for cross-curricular lessons linked to the themes, an author study and top tips for writing poetry.

Curriculum links: Art and Design/Design and Technology (puppet design and making), Science (light and shadows, Earth and Space), English (poetry), PSHE (raising aspirations)
