NEWBERRY — Students from Newberry Academy’s second-grade and fourth-grade classes were treated to a special hands-on lesson to conclude their unit in “Sounds and Study of the Ear” when they took a field trip to Seven Oaks Park in Columbia.

The classes, led by teachers Jaymi Wilbanks and Belinda Pruett, had the opportunity to explore the park’s special musical playground activities, where they learned how the ear hears different instrument sounds.

Afterwards, the classes practiced good manners and proper etiquette while dining at Olive Garden.
