This week in Science, Year 3 have been learning about different kinds of soil. Based on our soil investigation, we discussed what we had observed. We also identified the different features within each type of soil. In addition to this, we also reflected on the purpose of soil, the importance of it and what it provides for animals, plants and humans.
This week, some of the Year 2 children took part in a dance session. They got to explore the rhythm and beat and listened to a variety of musical pieces. They then used props to bring their dances to life!

Today we used the shaker eggs to mark the beat of the music as we moved around the room.
We practised different ways of starting and stopping.
Sometimes we followed a leader in the middle of the circle, and sometimes we counted - we made a noise for 4 beats then froze for 4 beats.
We also started to explore different rhythm values!
