Yr 4 Science Monday 1st June –Friday 5th June

Listening to sounds underwater

Hi everyone!

If we were back at school, we would be focusing on Sound in our Science sessions

so we thought why not still try to learn about this interesting topic whilst you're

at home…

Over the next few weeks, we will be setting a number of simple sound

experiments for you to complete at home and then hopefully you can share your

findings with us all!

Listening to sounds underwater

Sound travels well through air, but it travels even better through water! In this experiment

you will discover and learn how different sounds are when heard through water compared to

the air.

You will need:

• A bucket/large container to hold water

• Plastic bottle (large 2liters)

• Sharp scissors or knife (for adult use only!)

• 2 normal eating knives or forks.

Listening to sounds underwater

What to Do:1. After filling the bucket with water, take a sharp knife or kitchen scissors and get your ADULT to cut off

the bottom of the plastic water bottle. Be sure that the cap is taken off of the bottle.2. Place the bottle in the water so that the cut bottom is in the water. Put your ear to the top of the

bottle to listen.3. Using the kitchen knives, clang them together to make a sound, but do this in the bucket as your listening

(you may need to get a family member to do this for you).

WHAT DO YOU HEAR?

Listening to sounds underwater

You have probably noted that the sound of the clanging is loud and clear.

Sound travels faster through water than in the air, and animals that live underwater are able to hear sound

clearly.

Now please write a medium sized paragraph (6 sentences), about what you have found out. How was the

sound different between air and water (volume, pitch)? Can you give any examples of how this might help

any animals in the ocean in particular? Can you predict what sounds may be like through ice…?

TOP TIP: You can send a photo or video of you doing you experiment to Purple Mash mail/work folder,

you can also either handwrite or on the computer complete your paragraph of findings. This too can be sent

via Purple Mash (a photo is acceptable if handwritten).

Yr 4 PSHE workMonday 1st June –

Friday 5th June

Hi everybody!

We hope that you are well and staying safe….

This week in PSHE we are going to be thinking about being

active.

It’s super important to stay active during these times (even

though we aren’t having our regular P.E sessions) as it

contributes to a healthy physical and mental lifestyle.

Task 1:

Firstly, I want you to think back over the last week or so. What active tasks have

you completed?

Make a list of 5 (these can be anything from going out for a walk/bike ride, to

dancing in your house, sport and much more).

TOP TIP: You can either send this list as an email using Purple Mash, upload it to

your work folder on Purple Mash or take a photo of it and upload to Purple

Mash.

Task 2:

On the next 2 slides you will find a list of challenges to complete throughout the week (you

don’t have to do them all in one go).

Please check with an adult if your are borrowing any equipment from the your house!

TOP TIP: You can complete the form on the PowerPoint slide and email it back using

Purple Mash, make a note on some paper and photograph that and send in via Purple

Mash, complete as a word document and then upload to your work file on Purple Mash or

if you're feeling fancy you could have a go an filming it and then uploading via Purple

Mash. Or simply, print the worksheet from the link below.

Task 3:

On the next 2 slides, are some keep fit ideas for you to give a go ! Make

sure you are in a well spaced part of your home and check with an adult

(they might even want to get involved!).

TOP TIP: If you want to show off what you’ve done, you can video

yourself and post it on Purple Mash!

Yr4 GeographyMonday 1st June – Friday 5th June

During the week you are going to be completing several tasks around your house

and immediate local area, all of these smaller tasks will help you to produce a

Journey Booklet based on your fieldwork research.

Very similar to what we will be making! But doesn’t have to look exactly like this, you can be creative.

Task 1:

Messy mapping, is when you collect nature whilst out on your walk. The walk

should only be in the immediate area around your home and you should ask an

adult to come. You can collect things like plants, flowers, stones, wood etc.

TOP TIP: Don’t take anything from anyone’s garden!

Task 2:

Once you have completed your Messy Map, you can now create a journey

timeline on paper. It should be in the same order that you collected and attached

the items you collected on your walk (on your messy paper or stick map).

See the next slide for an example.

Task 3:

Now you probably have quite a good idea about what your local area is like and

what’s there…

Use this knowledge (and your other Geography work so far) to draw your

very own sketch map.

See the next 2 slides for an examples.

Once you have completed your 3 tasks it’s time to make your journey booklet.

This can look however you want, there is no right way to make this. As long as

it’s clear, well organised and has all your work in!

TOP TIP:

You can take a photo or video of it and upload that to Purple Mash as an

email or in your work folder…
