More fun with sound: We completed a science experiment to see how the amount of water in a glass container effects the sound. We also went out in the lovely sunshine to experiment using a string telephone.

Wardle Brass band
We had a fantastic morning when Wardle brass band came in to perform for us. Ms Smith got us all really involved and talked about the different instruments that the children played.

Tour of the Galapagos Islands!
To retrace Darwin’s footsteps, Year 6 went on a virtual journey around the Galapagos Islands. We used Google Streetview to move around the islands, looking for plant and animal life to observe.
