Well done Y3!
Our eco warriors in Y3 have been planting trees today.
Mr Smith & Mr Smurthwaite seemed to do the majority of the digging but the children were certainly enthusiastic about the planting.

A cacophony of sound!
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…
