In Azure Class we have been watching The Lighthouse. It is a short animation film about the day in the life of a lighthouse keeper. On this day, disaster strikes and the light no longer works! The film is about how the community come together and help the lighthouse keeper and they prevent a ship from crashing into the cliff. We have really enjoyed this animation and have been talking about how communities can work together and help each other. We will be writing diary entries in role of the lighthouse keeper next week in English.
In Science we have talked about the dangers of electricity and how to keep ourselves safe. This week we investigated how to make our own electrical circuits. We worked in pairs with wires, cells and a bulb in a bulb holder to work out how to make the the light bulb light up. We found that the circuit needed to be connected in a circle or a loop so that the electricity could travel around it. We also found out that the electricity only travelled through metal and not plastic so we had to connect the metal parts.
In art we have been looking at artist and illustrator Oliver, particularly his landscape paintings. We have been learning about recreating his style and how he creates his art, replicating some of his techniques. This week we have also sketched out our own landscapes inspired by Oliver Jeffer’s artwork and the Lighthouse animation we have watched in English. We can’t wait to pick a final composition to paint!
