Year 4 had lots of fun making cardboard box guitars and panpipes our of straws. They were challenged with making instruments that could play different volumes and pitches. They used smaller and thinner elastic bands and straws to make a higher pitch sound and found if they blew or plucked harder the volume would increase.

A big well done to the Year 3 and 4 girls for competing in a futsal festival this evening. It was many of the girls first time representing school and although some were a little nervous at the start, their confidence really increased throughout the tournament. The girls showed fantastic teamwork and cheered each other one with lots of chanting and singing. Thank you to our Year 6 Game Changers who also came along this evening and helped to coach the futsal teams.
Amazing job girls!

Wednesday was all about us putting our pens down, talking, listening and finding different ways to communicate and learn.
Year 4 had great fun using various "pen free" skills.
On Friday, we were awarded the Equal Access Award by the FA for ensuring our school has the same opportunities for boys and girls in football. Well done to Greenside and Manchester Road who also picked up the same award.

On Friday, we learnt all about how Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. We then created our own string telephones to investigate whether a longer or shorter and tight or loose string would increase the volume of the sound. We found that a tight, short string produced the loudest sound because the sound vibrations had more energy when they reached the ear due to the string being shorter and the sound waves could travel in just one direction in a straight line rather than travelling in lots of different directions.
Yesterday Year 3 performed a poem to the whole school. We read a poem based on Spike Milligan's famous poem called 'On the Ning nang nong'
Our poem links to our topic and was called 'On the Stone Age hill'
