Year 4 Sound in Science
Year 4 have been learning all about sound in science and made quite a racket in the science room with the percussion instruments! They went on to understand pitch, by make their own glass xylophone. The children set up an investigation to find out whether different amounts of water in the bottles changed the pitch of the sound.
They used a variety of different activities to establish the relationship between the size of the vibration and the volume of the sound produced.

The children have enjoyed reading Seal Surfer by Michael Foreman, learning about true friendship and what that means to the different characters in the story.
In their writing lessons, Year 5 have been mapping a sequence of incidents to help them plan a recount. In teams, they worked on adding descriptions of the main events, fronted adverbials, emotions and rhetorical questions. We can't wait to read their finished work next week when they use their plans to write about Annie's adventure!
