  ![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/blog/IMG_20230215_141023.jpg)   16 February 2023   [Ms Kendal](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/author/CarolineKendal)   [Year 4](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/category/year-4)

Year 4 have had a very noisy afternoon creating straw pipes and a pipe flute.

The children discovered that: the shorter straws produced a higher pitch note and the longer straws produced a lower pitched note.
