Super sounds in Year 3!

-

 This week, Year 3 are beginning their exciting new topic all about light and sound! To kick things off, the children took some instruments outside and carried out their very first investigation into how sound travels.

They had the chance to explore what happens when they play sounds in open spaces, noticing how vibrations move through the air and reach our ears. The fresh air setting gave them room to experiment with different volumes, rhythms, and distances, sparking lots of curious questions.

Over the coming weeks, Year 3 will be learning more about how light helps us see, how sound is created and moves, and the many ways we use both in our daily lives. It’s the perfect opportunity to connect scientific ideas with hands-on experiences, and the children are already showing fantastic enthusiasm for their new topic.



The closer I was to the instrument, the louder I heard the sound Nina

Bawdsey Day 2

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
