In PE, we learnt how to play lacrosse. We have never played this before and really enjoyed playing this sport. At first we practiced throwing and catching the ball from the sticks, then we tried to score goals.

We had some amazing costumes for world book day and we really enjoyed the dance workshop based around Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Today we designed an experiment to show whether a shadow is always the same shape as the object that casts it. We imagined we were on holiday by a pool and placed umbrellas so that they would cast shade at various times of day.

This half term we are studying light. Our scientist is Ibn Al-Hayshan, who was the first real scientist, and he wrote a book called optics. We learnt that light travels in straight lines and reflects off surfaces and into our eyes.

Today we looked at AI taking over jobs from humans. We had a debate about the ethics and repercussions of AI replacing teachers in the classroom. We also learned how to debate and the roles within a debate team including how to rebut a point.

We had a DT morning during which we made automata. The skills we used were teamwork, accurately measuring, sawing, using a glue gun and drilling.

Today with Mr C, we used masonry paint to paint the polystyrene building parts. He introduced us to Freidensreich Hundertwasser - an Austrian artist/architect - and we made an information page and collage of his work.

We learned how to programme loops and then used this knowledge to programme the loops to make Islamic style art.

[Oak Class @OakDallamCPS]

Following from the nested loops we used for the Islamic art, we rewrote the code using random numbers to create art in the style of Mondrian.

Today, we learned basic Python commands. We first showed we could follow instructions and realised that you have to include every move into the code. Then we learnt how to ‘remix’ the code.

We learnt about variations within the orchestra. We talked about how the instrument’s sounds makes us feel. We matched pop art images to instruments to show this.

We learnt about haiku poems then wrote our own about polar bears.

For our last session of art with Mr C, we looked back at the work in our sketchbooks and added finishing touches.
We then created another 2 point perspective piece.
Finally, we wrote messages to wrap around our Nicola Anthony inspired buildings.

As part of investigating how plants have adapted to survive in our local area, we studied their roots.
#DallamScience

[Oak Class @OakDallamCPS]

In Science, we looked at how plants in our area have adapted to the environment. We looked at access to light and water and used the data loggers to help us look at light levels in relation to the leaves on the plants. We discovered that

As part of our PE session, we took part in the St Rocco’s Reindeer Dash. Thank you to everyone who sponsored us.

We studied the poem “A Tiger in the Zoo” by Leslie Norris. We then, in groups, learnt a verse each and performed it for the rest of the class.

We completed our 3D buildings with a layer of PVA glue to seal them. We previously made and drew images of buildings front facing so we tried drawing them using 2 point perspective. We drew a street corner using this skill.
