Year 4

Today we carried out the investigations we planned last week to find out whether high pitched sound travel further than low pitched sounds.

Class 10 have been learning how to play dodgeball in PE. 

Today we had a game which lasted the whole lesson! They were really good at getting their team back in. 

The game ended in draw which was very fair well done class 10.

Class 10 have been writing an alternative ending to Oliver Twist this week. 

They have all tried really hard and produced some lovely stories.

In Class 10 we have celebrated the European Day of Languages. 

Children shared fascinating stories about the countries they were born in and about their cultures. We speak 10 different languages in Class 10, including Twi, Urdu, Italian and German. 

We learnt ‘hello’ in each…

Today we went on a sound hunt around school. We made predictions about the loudest and quietest places in school. 

Then we visited them and measured the volume with data loggers.

Well done on a successful first mission replicating Ed Stafford’s mission to the Amazon.

Class 9 enjoyed investigating pitch in their Science lesson. 

We worked out that smaller objects produced higher pitched sounds. 

We also found that glass bottles have a higher pitch when they contain less water. 

We have been looking at place value this week and using blocks to help us partition numbers.

Today we began learning about sound. We investigated pitch using different instruments and identified the patterns we found. We learnt that sound is a vibration and felt the vibrations of different instruments and tuning keys. 

We then looked at science in action and learnt how scientists…

Class 10 had a fantastic time investigating pitch with musical instruments.
