Year 4 enjoyed an exciting science lesson investigating that sound is a vibration. It was vey loud and noisy  – drums banging, bottle organs tapping and hooting, voice balloons buzzing, rulers twanging and tuning forks humming. Our ears were ringing by the end of the lesson, but we learnt a lot…

This week helped Monsieur Stravganza investigate which materials would be best to build a flying machine.
