We’ve had a jam-packed week in LKS2!
In English, we have been preparing for our humorous narrative that we are going to be writing next week. As part of our carousel, a group of children have been going outside every day to act out sentences they created, using fronted adverbials. The children have performed brilliantly and impressed all of the teachers!
This week in science, LKS2 learnt more about how sounds travel. To begin the lesson, we recapped what a sound it and how sounds are made by objects vibrating. We then figured out that sounds can be louder and quieter depending on how big the vibration is by getting some children to leave the room and make different sounds. We also found out that sound can travel through objects and some materials block sound more than others.
Experiment time: How do sounds travel?
Our experiment was to make our own string telephone in order to find out how sound can travel along an object that is vibrating and into the ear. We worked in tables to make our sting telephone, then wrote down our equipment, hypothesis, observations and conclusion on large paper.
The Y3s enjoyed another great gymnastics lesson this week. After recapping symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, we explored using different levels. We made balances at a low, medium and high level, and then tried moving around at these levels. Then we took our movements on to the apparatus, trying to be as creative as possible and incorporating a variety of levels to make our movements more interesting.
