Why do we live here?
What is the difference between noise and sound?
Childrens Activities and Work
Science, Design and Technology:
Year 4 have enjoyed the final challenge of their recent enquiry, 'What's the difference between noise and sound?' Their experiences have been enriched by not one, but two visiting speakers who taught us about how the ear works, as well how sound waves travel through the air (and water and metal!) During this Enquiry, we also followed our own curiosity by thinking of (and answering) questions that were connected to the topic.
When making these instruments, we learned the importance of working as a team, problem solving and using different materials. Finally, we tested and evaluated our final products to see how well they worked and suggested any improvements.
In our maths lessons, we used outdoor learning as a hook into our topic of Place Value. Year 4 have deepened their understanding using place value grids, part-whole models and gattegno charts with verbal and written reasoning really showing how well they have understood the sequence. Well done, year 4!
In Author Writer, we have been learning about the features of a diary entry. When we get back from year 4 camp, we are going to have a lot to write about! We also wrote thank you letters to Joanna for speaking to us in our Enquiry lessons.
