Air Pollution

On Thursday 13th February Briony from Sustrans came to talk to us about air pollution. She shared information about the effect cars and lorries can have on our environment. We also discussed what we could do to help.

Afterwards we went outside to look for lichen in the playground. She taught us about the different types of lichen and what that can tell us about the air quality where they are found.

Soundtrap

Every second Tuesday we make music on Soundtrap with John and Roo. We have lots of fun developing our creativity skills.  We are able to make music in lots of different styles.  We can express ourselves through the different styles which we create. We have to think about the number of beats and bars in our tracks as well as the different musical instruments.

We have developed our communicating and collaborating skills as well as our creativity skills.

It’s really fun because we get to make our own music! – Mollie
