Sound in nature
Year 4 were very busy on Tuesday. We discussed their Science topic of Sounds. The children went on a sound walk, collecting any natural items that they could use on their own wind chimes. They designed and made their wood chime in class and you can see the finished results are fantastic. After snack and luckily, when the rain had stopped, Year 4 Gideons went outside. They made their very own Iron Man in groups, moved wood chip and went bug hunting.
Nature Area
4G had a busy and enjoyable afternoon in the Nature area. The first part was spent refining our listening skills. Blindfolded and in teams, we had to work together and follow the sound. The next game involved finding our farmyard friends, made trickier by wearing blindfolds! 4G moved to the nature area, working hard to move some woodchip and bug hunting as well as playing. Thank you for all your help 4G. Can't wait to see you again next Tuesday.

Investigating Sound
In science, year 4 are investigating sound - including how music is made on different instruments (including seeing sound wave with water and a tuning fork) and how to measure sound levels. We walked around the school with data loggers to record sound levels (Db) of the quietest and loudest parts of the school. In art, inspired by Kandinsky, we have started listening to different types of music and painting what we hear!
