[amazing](https://stedmundswestlancs.co.uk/blog/tag/amazing) We had fun today learning about how sound travels. When we spoke into the cup the vibrations travelled down the string on our 'Stringy Phones' and it was amplified by the plastic cup. We were sending secret messages to each other and we really could hear everything clearly! We decorated them so they were PHestive phones. I was amazed it worked, I kept laughing.
