Music

This week in music we have been learning about pulse and tempo. At the beginning of the lesson we moved along to the pulse of the music following the penguins and we also warmed our faces up ready for singing. We sang a song and our partners tried to play the notes along with it on the glockenspiel. Part of the lesson was listening to the music Bolero, we watched an orchestra playing this piece of music and tried to identify the pulse.

The Runaway train science investigation

We read a story called: “The Runaway Train” investigated our own runaway train. This time in the science investigation we were focusing on making predictions; we made predictions about which material on the ramp would slow down the train the best. Lots of us used the existing knowledge we had to help make our predictions. At the end of the day we carried out the investigation, some children from the class took on roles such as: investigator, health and safety officer, recorder, measurer and fair test checker.

We made a top tips display which we talked about at the end of the day.
