Although we arrived at Mountfitchet Castle later than planned Year 4 had an excellent and informative time. We were particularly pleased with the levels of sensible engagement with interactive exhibits, good and polite behaviour and amazed that no-one fell over! Thanks to all the staff that were supporting and Mr Murphy for his broom.

 Continuing our Sound theme today we made some simple musical instruments which could demonstrate a change of pitch. Our main two types were whiteboard guitars, using a variety of pens, gluesticks etc., to make a bridge and an improvised fret and a lollystick harmonica. I have included a short vidoe clip of the whole class using their instruments - sorry!

 We have moved on in P.E. to look at combining balance and co-ordination. The children undertook a carousel of 4 different co-ordination tasks.
