Friday 21 July 2023 Oak Class Blog - 21st July 2023 I can't believe we have reached the end of the school year! It has been a year filled with fun, learning, adventures and hard work by all the children in Oak Class. Every single member of the class, should be very proud of all they have achieved and the great role models they are for the younger years. When I asked the class, they said their highlights have been the residential to Thorpe Woodlands, Science Week, Art Weeks, Sports Day Computing Week and the end of year production 'Shakespeare Rocks'. They have also really enjoyed being together as Oak Class this year and I know the Year 5 children will miss the Year 6 children as they move onto their next adventures at secondary school.

Friday 7 July 2023 The Moon Landing This week we have continued our work on space and have been looking at the moon. We have found out that the moon has craters due to asteroids and meteorites colliding with the surface. We have acted out the first moon landing and know that Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon and Buzz Aldrin was the second. We know that they were on the moon for two hours and brought back moon rocks to study. They left a flag. We also found out their footprints are still there because there is no wind on the moon.

Friday 23 June 2023 Oak Class Blog - 23rd June 2023 This week, Oak Class completed their learning on balanced arguments by debating 'School aged children should be banned from using devices'. Initially they all thought they shouldn't be but by the end of this unit they all agreed that there were pros and cons to device use. They have also been engaged and enthusiastic in our production rehearsals, which we started in the village hall this week.

Monday 19 June 2023 Shadows We have been looking at shadows this week. We have found out that shadows are formed when light can't pass through an object. We had great fun drawing round our shadows outside. We used a torch and wooden toy people to investigate how shadows change throughout the day. We made the shadows longer and shorter. We have learnt the words transparent and opaque.

Monday 19 June 2023 Minibeasts We have continued our work on mini beasts and have sorted them in different ways. We have also identified the features of an insect and know that they have six legs and three body parts. Several of us have enjoyed searching for mini beasts in the outdoor area. We found lots of centipedes! In maths, we have made symmetrical patterns on butterfly wings. We have all drawn and painted pictures of butterflies and some of us have drawn bees with the help of Rob.

The children enjoyed pond dipping, bird watching, a scavenger hunt and looking at moths that had been caught in the moth trap. We hadn't realised how many patterns of moth there are! The children behaved brilliantly and were a credit to their families and the school. Well done Foxes.

Friday 16 June 2023 Oak Class Blog - 16th June 2023 This week has been Computing Week in Oak Class. The learning has been around the theme 'Creating Media- Vector Drawings'. The children have been using the google draw program and have learnt what vector drawings are, how to create shapes and objects and duplicate, move and resize objects. They have also been using the draw tools to make an exact copy of different animal pictures and the zoom in and out tool to draw things in detail. This learning has taken great patience and care from the children and it has been great to see the children using these attributes in their computing work this week. As you can see from the photos below, the children really enjoyed their computing week and created some wonderful work.
