Term 2
Our mission question is: What did the tree see?
History
Today we launched our new history mission which is based around the wonderful book by Charlotte Guillain- What did the tree see? After reading the story, we visited some of the oldest trees near our school to imagine what changes they might have seen. Back in the classroom, we used historical and modern maps of Old Sodbury to find our what has changed and what's stayed the same in the past 130 years.
Life Skills
Today we were visited by Becky from Life Skills. We talked about lots of really important topics, including how to keep our bodies and minds healthy, the dangers of smoking, how to maintain healthy friendships and how to deal with disagreements. Thank you Becky!
Science Afternoon
We had a brilliant afternoon with some of the Year 12 students from KLB. They planned and organised a scientific enquiry for us to do. We had to grind red cabbage to produce an indicator, which we used to identify different acids and alkalis. Acids turned red and alkalis turned green. Thank you so much KLB!
Term 1
Our mission question is: What is out there and how do we know?
Science
This week in science we carried out our Moon crater enquiry. We chose different variables to investigate and used sand to recreate the dusty surface of the Moon.
Art
In art this term we are exploring collage. This week we used photomontage to create these monochromatic artworks.
Residential Camp
Oak Class had an amazing time on our camp at PGL Liddington. We got to do so many amazing activities and created some incredible memories!
