Science, Music and Whales

Year 2

We have had a busy week this week in year 2. We have learnt about the importance of brushing our teeth and what foods are good for our teeth and which ones are not so good. We have continued with our longitudinal science study looking at the effect of the seasons on trees. While doing this we learnt about something that you can buy from the shop that is made from tree sap, see if your children remember what it is. In maths we have looked at mass and the children have been comparing, ordering and measuring weight.

Year 3 and 4

Music and science

We are studying sound in science, learning about how sound is caused by vibrations. This week we were making musical instruments in music lessons too. Our science investigation this week was focused on pitch - how to create different pitches and what instrument you could make to make a higher pitched sound.

Year 5 and 6

This week the children have been completing their final piece for their work on ‘The Whale’. They planned and drafted their own Whale encyclopedia pages and then completed the finished piece - they look amazing.

Elm class had an exciting letter this week from HHJ Angela Morris, the Resident Judge of Winchester and Salisbury Combined Courts. The classes have been invited to go to an actual courtroom and ask questions about what happens there. This is a great response to all the work the children did on their Topic last term - Does Justice always Whirl in Equal Measure.
