At our school, during Terms 2 and 4, we usually have a learning focus on science and technology.
This term, we started with a science unit on Light and Colour.
Then we had a technology challenge!
We remembered the work we had done on the First World War in Term 1's Social Studies (here and here). The soldiers used periscopes in the trenches to see over the top.
Charlee brought her toy periscope.
We watched a video about making a periscope.
After our periscopes were made, we tried them out in the playground.
After a bit of tweaking, it was time to finish camouflaging our periscopes, ready for our game of hide-and-seek!
Our learning in art with Mrs. W. this term is based around the Dada art movement.
The Dada art movement began in 1916 in Zurich, in response to the horror of World War 1.
The artists created nonsense art from all kinds of materials that aimed to shock people. They meant to shock people, and to make people rethink items around us so that we might rethink the world.
Our calendar pages are photo montages designed to reflect our identity.
