Year 4 have made some amazing musical instruments using recycled materials. The children had to apply knowledge gained from their science topic - sound - in order to create instruments which changed volume and pitch. This gave them the opportunity to make connections between science and Design and Technology.
The children increased their understanding of planning, creation and evaluation through the process of making their marvellous musical instruments.
