Shadows on a Sunny Spring Day

We went outside and drew our shadows with chalk on the concrete with a buddy at 10.40 am.
We then went back outside after lunch at 1.40 pm and stood in exactly the same place and again drew our shadow.

Here is what we noticed about our shadows and what we learned together.

Our shadow at 10.40 am was in a different spot when we went back at 1.40 pm.
Light cannot go through us.
Shadows are outlines.
Shadows are black because we are blocking the sunlight.
A shadow is formed by the Sun.
Our shadows have no eyes, mouth and no other features or detail. 
Earth is rotating around the Sun so the beam of light hits us at different angles at different times.
