Myths, Legends... and Sound!

During the first week of term we were introduced to our new English topic, myths and legends. 

Mrs Andrew is helping us to study Greek myths and last week we heard about the story of Pandora. Mrs Waller has been looking at the legend of Robin Hood and today we started to prepare for a piece of extended writing on this topic.


We looked at some pictures of Robin Hood and worked on noun phrases which we will use in our writing.


During the afternoon we started our new science topic, sound.


We used everyday objects and instruments to see how sound is produced.


We watched rice jump on the surface of a drum when it was struck...



We could see the vibrations when an elastic band was twanged...


We could see the clapper of the bell vibrating...


And we could see the ruler oscillating when it was tapped...


We will continue our investigations next week!
