Starting our new enquiry

Why is light important in everyday life?

This week we have started looking at our new big question.  We began by sitting quietly with only a candle flame alight.  We talked about how we feel in the dark, how the flame made us feel and what light does to the dark.

Some of the words that we used about the light were:
Relaxing,
Calm,
Happy,
Warm.
Some of the words that we used about the dark were:
Scary,
I see shadows,
I think there are monsters under the bed,
Sleepy.

The children talked to each other about being scared in the dark, one child in year 2 said "We don't need to be scared in the dark because God is always with us.  He looks after us."
