As you know, we've been focusing this term on sound in science. 

1. Complete this worksheet about how sounds travel by cutting and sticking the captions in the correct order. If you don't have a printer, have a go at drawing out the pictures and captions on a piece of paper. 

2. Try this investigation to explore how sounds change over a distance.

You will need:

• Two paper cups 
• A compass or sewing needle to make holes in the cups 
• 10 m of string

Follow these instructions and then have a go at the 'activity sheet' attached below. 

In school we have learnt a lot about children being evacuated to the countryside. Do you remember Lenny from our book 'The Lion and the Unicorn'. He had to wear a label pinned to his jacket as he got to the train station. Watch this video clip to hear a real life story of an evacuee as she retraces the journey and describes what it was like to leave home and live with a different family and attend a different school. 

I would like you to research evacuee labels like the one below and make your own. You could make it look old by staining with tea bags.
