As part of our topic about India, Oak Class designed and made shadow puppets to tell the story of the first Diwali. We used our scientific knowledge to select transparent and translucent materials to make appealing and effective puppets. It was really challenging getting our puppets to move, but we were able to use our design and technology skills to analyse our first attempts and improve on them.
Recently, Oak Class went to Chelmsford Museum to find out more about Britain during the Stone Age. We learnt about Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic Britain and what innovative people lived during that time. In on of our activities, we made tools and weapons using soap knapping, we also made our own paints to create cave art.
