SOUND EVALUATION

All term the children in Room 18 have been learning about sound. What makes sound, how we can recognise sound, interesting facts about sound. Our Global Learning Intention was " to investigate" and that is what we have done! Here is some fantastic work as a quick hour evaluation, using kidpix, to let their teacher (who has been out of the classroom a lot!) know what they now know or have found interesting. Well done Room 18. Great work.

Habits of Mind

The children have been busy learning how to write their own posts, with a new login! Each blog group has been given challenges over the last few weeks - so please stick with us as we experiment.

I recently found a good movie about the Habits of Mind and what it means. I thought it would be useful for parents to view so they have a deeper understanding of what we are trying to achieve in the classroom with the children , and so as parents you are more aware of what the children mean. Please watch and talk to your children about the Habits they use frequently within the classroom. Please also give us some feedback on how useful you found it.

WALT find information
We are looking at sound
1. Things that vibrate or move backwards and forwards very quickly make a sound
2. Elastic bands and rulers are sources of sound
3. Often we can't see vibrations because they are so fast but we can still hear the sounds
4. Sources of sound are all around us

Brainiacs

WALT find information
We found information on sound

1. Beating a drum hard causes louder vibration and louder sound
2. Sounds are louder closer to the sound source
3. A small vibration means a quiet noise
4. The harder the blow the bigger the vibration is and amplitude
5. The amplitude of a sound wave tells us how big the vibrations are

The fun bloggers

WALT find information

We found information on sound

1. Sound can travel through different materials
2. When sound is going fast it makes a high noise/pitch
3. When sound is going slow it makes a low sound
4. Sound is a noise which is made by vibrations
5. Sound can travel sideways not upways

Brain Busters

These are the things we have learnt about sound

1. Sound can travel through different materials
2. Sound is made when something vibrates
3. The outer ear is called the pinna
4. The outer ear also includes the ear canal
5. The Malleus which is attached to the eardrum and means hammer in latin

blog busters sound

We learnt that: incetcs make a buzzing sound beacause their wings are beating very fast.Did you know that the harder you hit something the louder it is and the louder the noise and the longer it lasts the more dangerous it is for your ears.Also we can mesaure sound waves by counting the number of vibrations that occur per second.If somting is going slow makes a deeper sound and if something is going quikly then it will make a high pitched noise.

sound by kiana and grace

we are lerning about sound
-sound gets quiter the ferther you move away from the source. (stero)
-sound waves get louder as it travels away from the source
-the longer the string,the lower pitch.
-a high frequecys a higher pitch.
-sound travels faster through a vacum.

dx,sound.

1.Sound can go through diffrent matireals. 2.There is no sound in space because of the vacum. 3.Vibrations can travel through air. 4.sound can get quiter the futher away it goes. 5.the faster the vibration goes make higher sound.

Amazing bloggers

today we learnt
vibrations travel thew air.
sound travels thew diffrent merterls.
you can't hear stuff in space.
the number of vibrations is called the frequency.
when a peace of sting is vibrating you can change the pitch by changing the length.
by H.G,G.O and K.S

sound

WE LEART:
-sound waves help make sound , the bigger the wave the louder the sound and smaller the smaller the sound smaller the sound
-all things that vibrate make sound
-vibrating air is what makes sound
-the loundness of of sound is mesuerd in deuibels


BY THE BLOGGERS

HAJ company

Today the HAJ company knew that Vacuum means that their is no sound in space. Things that vibrate moves, backwards and then forwards quickly. Insects make a loud buzzing sound because their wings flap quickly. Also sound can be hear outside.

Sound - a message from Mrs Waterland

Should any of you check the blog at the weekend it would be very handy if you could bring an empty plastic bottle (like a lemonade bottle or a milk one)to school. It needs to be either a 1.5 l or a 2 l one.
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend

LOUD SHIRT DAY

On our last day at school of term 3 we had the most crazy LOUD SHIRT DAY!!!!!!!!!!
Mrs Waterland looked like she had just been to Hawaii!
Lots of people wore a shirt. It was a really fun day.

Assembly

Today Room 18 presented our Team Time assembly. Here are some photos of our team time. A big thank you to Tessa and Cameron who at the last moment organised and spoke for us at assembly. A great job guys. Well done! Mrs Waterland was very grateful and proud of you both

Kia Kaha day out

In Week 8 the Yr 3 and 4's went on their big day out! We went to the movies to see UP, and then went off to the Lido for a lunch, followed by a swim. We had lots of fun! Here are some photos of our big day out!

lss litterthon

On Thursday 22ND room 18 and 19 did a really big clean up.We did the Litterthon to keep Fielding beautiful!We walked from lytton street school,down north street and all around Fielding.We found loads of rubbish at the dairy.By the dairy was a big piece of rubbish that was a news paper stuck together .It was HUGE!!When we got back we had really sore legs.It was not very fun.

our zoo letters

To whom it may concern,

Room 18 have been discussing Burma and Kashin the elephant and it has come to my attention,why do we have zoos?


I believe that Animals should be kept in zoos because it is easier to study them in zoos instead of having to go overseas to find out about Animals. Also more and more people are wanting to find out about animals and the world around them which is important because it makes us want to protect animals and be friends with them. Another point is that scientists are having to go overseas just to find out about
animals.I think thats a waste of money. Would you waste your money?

Next animals should be kept in zoos because zoos and wildlife parks are places were we can keep animals that are in trouble can stay safe and not become extinct and they may be the last place for our earths wild species.

Finally animals should stay in zoos because if there in the wild they may be shot and die. Also because zoos give human beings the chance to see animals up close.

In conclusion I think that animals should stay in zoos because they may be the last place for earths wild species so they wont become extinct and because they give humans the chance to see animals up close. If you want your future children to be able to learn about animals and care for them then we need to have zoos.

Yours sincerely

Chelsea Keith.






To whom it may concern.

Room 18 have been talking about whether or not we should have zoos. Here is my opinion.

In my view animals should be allowed to come to zoos because some animals get hunted. Elephants get hunted for ivory tusks while other animals get hunted for hide and some animals get extinct because of this.


Another thing is that if an animal in the wild gets hurt it relies on passing humans to help but in zoos animals get immediate help.

Also some animals are endangered and if they are in the wild they will go from being endangered to extinct.


Animals are very important to peoples education and to help animals in the wild we need to know more. We don’t ant to go all the way around the world to study so we go to the zoo.


I think we need to have zoos because the animals are important to the world the future. If the animal race dies out the world will be a dark ,plane, bitter place to live now and for the future generation.


Yours sincerely


Tessa Webb

WHY SHOULD WE OR WHY SHOULD WE NOT PAINT CATS!

We think we should not paint our cats because it might get in its eyes,it is bad because your cat might go blind.


Another reason is that it wont be fluffy anymore,it is bad because it will get bored.

A good point is it will get itchy,its bad because it wont come near you.

We believe we should not paint our cats because it my swallow
the dye and swell up,its bad because you’ll have to pay a lot of money for it to go to the vet.

In conclusion your cat will go blind,it wont be fluffy anymore,it will get itchy,and it might swallow the dye and swell up.

Happy holidays!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are having a great holiday and not too many of you have been sick! Mrs Waterland has been very sick :( but is feeling a lot better now. 

I am going to put on a few You Tube items - one is for fun (I wonder if you can work out which one it is and if you can do the dance to show in class??) The other two items are for our unit around Persuasive writing - Arguments. Have a look at them and see if you can work out what they are trying to persuade you to do? If you can leave a comment - remember to do it just like at school, but hitting the comment button and leaving it as anno. I will get the email and will post it for you.

Looking forward to next week. Enjoy the rest of your holidays - have  a good break and be ready to share when you get back.  Think about your passion - what are your really passionate about? (I think you would probably say for Mrs Waterland it would be biking/running and her class of course!)

Mrs Waterland

Our first movie

We have been reading Bad Jelly the Witch and working on character descriptions. We had to create, using kidpix, a character from the story, through only hearing the story (we didn't know what the characters looked like!) This was to see how well the author used descriptive language throughout. We also had to use adjectives to describe our character. Next we decided to put it into a movie format. Mrs Waterland, Tessa and Chelsea worked on it - it was new learning for everyone. This is our creation. We are pretty pleased with our first effort!
