Learn: I watched some examples of Human Sundials.

Create: I made my own Human Sundial. I used chalk, my mum, and me.

Share:

I made it by drawing a circle, stepping inside the centre of the circle, and my mum draw my shadow every hour. I loved this activity as it was simple, easy, and a head start for me. My favourite part was eating a peach while the shadow was being drawn. A fact: Did you know that as the sun moves across the sky, the shadow changes which tells us the time it’s currently is. Also, a Sundial cannot be used in the nighttime as they are no sun there. The moon is not enough light to create a shadow to tell the time for us.

Where would you prefer to set out your human sundial?
