Katie from Science Buddies visited year 4 to investigate how sounds are made. We carried out an investigation to find out which materials muffled sounds effectively and used a sound meter to measure in decibels. We had great fun and we developed some excellent scientific enquiry skills.

We came to school dressed with a number focus and spent the day exploring number with a focus on estimation.

  • We made pictures from numbers.
  • Estimation Activity – We got given pictures and the we had to order the pictures on from smallest to largest. We discussed how we did it and then gave our best estimate of the amount.
  • We did a fun number Scavenger Hunt around the school. We estimated first then had to go around the school finding our if we were right!
  • We had fun creating a page for a Number Book for a younger child. Mrs Rennie is going to send them to the Infant School as a stapled book.
  • We found out if we were Smartie Pants! We had to guess how many Smarties were in a tube. We then had to think of the colours of the smarties and estimate how many of each colour there might be.
  • We estimated how much it would cost to buy enough apples for every child in our class to have 1/4. We then got to check and eat the apple!
