We have been very busy today applying our skills across different areas.

 

We had to use our adding skills to find out how much money was in each purse.

We coloured the coins the correct colours to help us work out the values before we added together.

This afternoon we were learning about the pitch off a sound and experimented with a pretend drum.

When the plastic was pulled tighter, the drum made a higher pitched sound. When the plastic was slacker, the pitch was lower.

 

Please experiment at home with junk materials. Watch the elastic bands vibrate. If there are any parents, aunties, uncles etc who play instruments, then please show the children how you tune your instruments and show them the strings and skins vibrating. Thanks.
