Year 3 and 4 Girls’ Futsal

, , ,

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!

String telephones

, , , ,

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.

Volleyball

Year 4 loved having a go at volleyball with Charlie yesterday from the Jason Robinson Foundation. They learnt all about how to serve and different ways they could hit the ball. They had a competition to see how many volleys they could do without the ball hitting the floor with the winners managing to get 7. Well done everyone!
