Sound investigations in science

Leopards were trying to find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it. Using elastic bands, whirly tubes, glasses of water and a glockenspiel, they tried to change the pitch to make high pitched sounds and low pitched sounds. 






The whirly tubes were very popular and everyone succeeded in making different sounds by changing the length of the tube. 

We had to spin it quite fast, so it's difficult to see on the photos!

Last Forest schools of the year

 To finish the year, the children made bow and arrows, boats, dens, whittled sticks for part of their role play and made swings .

I wonder if this Blue Peter badge will inspire more of you to get your recorder/saxophone/violin out to work on your musical skills. It's a really lovely design too. Did you know that with the badge, Estella also received a Blue Peter Badge card to gain FREE access to over 200 Blue Peter Badge Attractions throughout the UK! Keep that card in a safe place Estella. Using maths, reading and problem solving, Leah has been solving mysteries playing her new favourite game, Cluedo. It's one of our family favourites too, Leah. We do love a game of Cluedo! We even dressed
