# Exploring stories and light using shadow puppets

  ![Image of Exploring stories and light using shadow puppets](https://files.schudio.com/fleetwoods/images/blog/IMG_0945.JPG)  23 October 2017   [Willow Class - Year 3 & Year 4](https://www.fleetwoods.lancs.sch.uk/blog/category/willow-class-year-3-year-4)

We have been using shadow puppets to tell the story of Rama and Sita as part of Diwali and the poem 'The Night Before Christmas.'

The children learnt how opaque, transparent and transluscent materials are used to create interesting shows in shadow puppetry. The children will be making their own shadow puppets as part of our literacy work on story telling.
