A Visit to Stroud Library

Class: Year 3/4: Ruby Year: 2022 - 2023

Diamond and Ruby classes enjoyed a great trip to Stroud Library this week. We were given an information talk about how to access fiction and non-fiction texts. Then we got busy taking part in a treasure hunt to find a variety of different titles in the children’s section. We all got the chance to select a book to take home and used the machines to borrow them. After that we had the chance to work in the lab with an “apple piano” made by using our hands to complete a circuit of wires connected to different apples. It was fun to experiment with the different notes and some of Stroud Valley’s budding scientists spotted that the piano would still work if we added extra people’s hands into the circuit. Finally we saw the laser cutter in action and it created cardboard ghosts for us each to take home. Many thanks to Archie and Ollie from Stroud Library for leading our exciting activities.
