During this topic we will be exploring ways in which we can produce a glow, and what objects can be used within dark spaces. Children will find out what materials produce a shine a glow a reflection and twinkle.

Building on initial starting points during the Engage stage your observations will enable you to develop the project flexibly taking account of your children's ideas and interests.
