Congratulations to 6H for their slick, well-rehearsed and suitably-spooky class assembly. It was rounded off appropriately with a performance of Ghostbusters, just hours ahead of the school's Halloween Disco. Today, Year 5 have been learning about sound design and foley artists, and exploring ways in which to manipulate sound, and connecting our ideas to the Year 5 Space topic.
