MINI ADVENTURE

Help!! Some of the younger children are a little scared of shadows and they are due to take part in a base camp next year. We don't want them to feel afraid on camp so our aim is to find out all about light and shadows to help them understand how they are formed and realise that they're not that scary after all!
