The Oak class team would like to welcome you back to school. We are really looking forward to working with your children this year and hope to work as a team to see them progress. Have fun exploring our page to see what we have been up to in Oak class. For any important information please read the parents information session PowerPoint.
On Friday, we looked at using the grid method to help us scale up drawings. Here is a glimpse of some of our fantastic pieces of work.
During English we have been talking about writing vivid character descriptions. Last Friday, we worked together to write a fabulous character description as a class.
In science today, we looked at which of 4 materials (plastic mirror, bubble wrap, grease proof paper or cardboard) would be best for making a model boat out of, to sail on a pond.
During term 3 we developed our sewing skills, working primarily on different joining stitches. Our aim was to sew one small cushion each, using a stitch of our choosing. We attached 2 pieces of fabric using either the running or back stitch, making sure we had an envelope fold so that the pillow stuffing would not leave the pillow once stuffed. To make it even more secure, we attached a button to our pillow case. We then ended by stuffing our cushions. Below are some of our cushions.
For Geography this term we have been learning about south America. One key physical feature of this continent is the Amazon Rainforest. Today we discussed various reasons the rainforest is being destroyed as a result of deforestation. Here are some children writing a convincing letter persuading Jair Bolsonaro- the President of Brazil- to reduce deforestation.
Today, in science, we were testing the hypothesis, ‘the more you exercise, the faster your pulse rate’.
