We tried a new game called handball which combined all of the skills we had been learning.
In science we learned about sound. We did lots of practical experiments to learn how sound travels.
In ICT we used a search engine to research information on how animals communicate. We selected appropriate information and then created a PowerPoint presentation using Google slides using the information we researched.

Zoe – I was interested in learning how animals can communicate with each other.
Nathan M – I enjoyed watching the video clips showing how sound travels through the air.
