Oak Class - Term 1

In Art sessions this term, the children have been exploring Impressionism and the works of Monet. Initially, the children researched Monet - including his works and life - before making a double-page fact file on him in their sketch books. After exploring different pieces of work and the different techniques used in the Impressionist genre, the children then created their own recreated Monet piece with Mrs Taylor-Brant.

Oak Class continue to develop their fencing skills this term, having started learning the skills of the sport in Year 5. The children have consolidated their learning from last year's sessions before beginning to extend their knowledge. Their footwork is improving and their steps are slowly becoming quieter - the signs of of a good fencer.

During our first week back, we started exploring our topic in science for this term - Light. We recapped sources of light, thinking about it common misconceptions such as the moon. The children then learnt that all light appears to travel in a straight line. In order to test this statement, the children worked together to explore how light travelled through three pieces of card with holes in. They discovered that as they misaligned the holes in the card pieces, the light was blocked by the pieces of card.
