We have started our new science topic: sound. The children had lots of fun making string telephones this week and have learnt how sound travels as vibrations along the string. They also completed a sound walk around the school where they discovered that there was nowhere in the buildings or grounds which was completely silent. They have some interesting homework on this topic for the weekend.
Year 4 have learned how to make sushi this week as part of our final day focusing on Japan.
On the last day of last half term, Year 4 excitedly boarded a coach to Kensington to visit the Science Museum. Elodie, Luke and Alex have written about the day.
