On Tuesday, we had a visit from Sam the sound man. We learnt so many amazing things about sound from how echoes work to ways we could make our own instruments. We all really enjoyed the session and it really helped deepen our Science learning for this half term. A couple of cool facts we learnt were: hard materials produce more echoes, there is no sound in space and the bigger the object the lower the sound it will make.

We finished our samba topic in Music by collating all the rhythms we learnt this half term to create a final piece of work. I have been really impressed with the children’s perseverance in the subject as they are now a lot more confident at playing as part of a group or as an individual.
