How do we make sounds, record sounds and see sounds?

This exciting Science Made Simple presentation, with lots of demonstrations, reveals the secrets from the basics of sound to the latest in music technology. Witness the ultimate ‘hands-free’ instrument and see a musical instrument played with a blowtorch!

Discover what sound is, and see what it actually looks like. Find out how our ears pick up sound, and how they can be damaged by loud music. Uncover the mysteries of how CD players and MP3 players work, and have some fun with synthesised voices!

Reading for 30 minutes.  You can do this in shorter chunks if you wish.  Please note down what you have read in your yellow reading record. 

Grammar  - Today we will be moving on to noun phrases.  There is a powerpoint and set of sheets attached.  Please choose which level of sheet you feel best suits you.  There is no need to complete all 3. 

Guided reading – Please re-read chapters 2 and 3 of The Boy Who Grew Dragons.  I am afraid there are a few errors from the scanning process!

Maths fluency – I have set you some 12 times table practise on MyMaths

RE – We will do our next lesson on Humanism.  The lesson outline is attached to the blog post.

Have a lovely day,

Mrs Barter
