Over the last few weeks we were busy practicing our May Day Dance and we managed to learn it so well that we performed it yesterday and today! For the dance we were in a group of 8. Our May King and Queen was Lucy and Leo. We dressed up in smart clothes and we performed in front of all the adults.
In Topic we have been building tall towers and structures. We found out that you had to build a big base and you add 2 sides to make it stable. We also found out that the bottom can be bigger than the top. Triangles are really strong to help structures be stable. We wrote how to make a structure and this is called an explanation. An explanation is a small piece of writing that describes how to do it.
In Maths we have also learnt about 3D shapes. The Maths words that you use to describe a 3d shape is faces, vertices and edges.

Journey Week
This week in Maths we have been learning to find half. We learnt how to find half of an object. Half means there is 2 groups and it has to be the exactly the same size. We also found half of a number. 1/2 of 8 is 4. Some of us also learnt about a quarter.
In English we have been writing the story Journey. Some of us are half way through writing the story. First we put pictures in then we wrote it. We named the character Anna and the boy Ben. To start with we wrote the beginning then the middle and finally we wrote the end.
In computing we have been practicing our keyboard skills. We know that we have to use all our fingers to type. We always place our fingers on the middle row. We use our thumb for the space bar.

David Hockney Week
This week in Oak Class we have created our own David Hockney paintings. We had to collage our own person to put in to the pool. But first we had to paint the swimming pool. We learnt about tints and tones then we explore patterns. To create the water effect we used 3 different methods. One was taking your pen for a walk, another was wiggly lines and the last method was wax resist.
In PSHE we have been learning about dental health. We are experts at how to brush our teeth now!!
