Week of Sound!

We had a great week exploring and learning about all the components that come with sound. We first had a discussion about what kinds of sounds we hear around our school. We then watched and listened to a story called 'The Listening Walk By Paul Showers.' Finally we went out on our own and explored our environment to record the sounds that we heard.

We brainstormed together after the walk, we shared all the sounds that we heard. We talked about what made the sound and what it sounded like.

This led us to make another poem. This time we were creating an Onomatopoeia Poem using the sounds we had heard on our walk. They are fantastic and will be posted on Seesaw this week :-)

Cup Phones

Next we had a lot of fun making cup phones to see how sounds travels. We know that there has to be vibration for sound to make it to our ears, otherwise we don't hear it.

Friday 'Fun Run' was of course enjoyed by all. It was pretty hot running round the field but we all had a great time encouraging each other and collecting our tokens. 

We have started another travelling tale! We are again in change of creating the problem! So many students wanted to be part of the process it was so great to see. We have 5 more students that are helping create this part of the tale and we can't want to create our part!

First we watched what the other two schools had created...

Then we started creating the problem!

We will be recording our part of the Tale on Monday - once the story is completed we will share it will you :-)
