Willow Class - Term 2

Last week, the children had a fire safety talk from the local fire brigade. The children demonstrated great knowledge and came up with brilliant responses to the fire brigade’s questions. 

In English, the children have been learning about the layout and features of a newspaper before creating their own using real newspaper extracts. 

In Science, the children completed an investigation on sound waves and vibrations. They measured the strength of sound vibrations using telephone cups and string in a range of different locations around the classroom. After, they identified any obstacles that may have impacted the vibrations.  

 

 This week, the children have been investigating how the ear hears sound and the different parts of the auditory system. The children used tuning forks to recognise vibrations and how they interacted with water. 

Last week, the children raised awareness for World Diabetes Day and Children in Need. They took part in a range of activities and dressed up to support the foundations.
