Electric vs Acoustic guitar
Today in Science, we were focusing on how sound is made through vibration and comparing how different types of guitar create different sounds. We noticed that the electric guitar needed an amp to amplify its sound and we could control the volume using the dials! Then we noticed that the acoustic guitar was hollow with a hole, meaning the sound was amplified through an echo. We each had a go at Miss Owens’ electric guitar and felt like rockstars during our investigation!

Cornerstones Engagement with The History Bloke
Class 4 had a very special visitor in class today – Richard, The History Bloke! He came into school dressed as a Viking and told us a brilliant Viking saga of Ragnar Lothbrok. Then, we were able to look at some Viking artefacts Richard had brought in to show us – the Vikings’ shields were a lot bigger than we thought! We learned a lot of interesting facts and had such a fun time time doing so.
Thank you to Richard for such a fantastic, fact-filled day!

Liz Million visit
Today we had a very special guest visit us in school – illustrator and author Liz Million! She worked with us this afternoon to help us create some vicious Vikings as part of our Cornerstones topic of Traders and Raiders. Even Miss Owens and Mrs Moore drew some hairy, scary Vikings!
Thank you to Liz for helping us sketch!

The children were so excited to be back in school and loved hearing that their new topic is Traders and Raiders! They are going to be learning all about the Saxons and Vikings in the Dark Ages. We also discussed what we would like to be included in our class charter and our new targets for this half term. Well done everyone!
