Music & Science in Year 4

Year 4 have been learning all about ‘Sound’ in their Science unit this half term. Exploring different instruments and understanding how sound is made, how we hear sounds, and also how we can change the pitch and amplitude of different instruments. Pupils also researched instruments to understand which family they belonged to; Percussion, Wind or Stringed. For homework they then applied their knowledge to make their own musical instruments, designing, making and decorating them. They then presented their instruments in their Science lesson, showing their understanding. Pupils even used them in their Music lesson to play a whole piece together.
