We be learning about sound vibrations and how these vibrations travel to the ear. We will also be investigating how different materials which make sounds louder and quieter, even making our own telephones!

Home Reading
As a school, we expect the children to read at least 3 times per week and have their journal signed by an adult. Children should bring their reading book and journal into school daily so they have the opportunity to read with adults in school.
