Classroom Learning
Exploring Pitch and Rhythm
In their music lessons, Year 4 pupils were enthusiastically exploring pitch and rhythm through carefully structured glockenspiel work, while discovering the vibrant sound world of brass instruments and the rich tradition of brass bands. They are growing in confidence as performers and listeners, reading notation, working collaboratively and developing musical control, creativity and expression.
Sound Investigation
During their science lessons, Year 4 pupils were delving into the fascinating world of sound and vibrations through hands-on enquiry. They were learning how sound travels and how its volume can be measured in decibels, using a decibel meter to gather accurate data. Children were planning and carrying out fair tests, exploring a range of instruments, making careful observations and recording results. They were comparing findings, identifying patterns and drawing conclusions, strengthening their ability to work scientifically with curiosity and precision.
