Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen?) e.g. I think that there will be no sound when I blow through it

Materials needed: straw and scissors

Experiment (procedure):

e.g. Step 1 - crease straw 2-3cm on one end

Step 2 - cut the creased end of the straw into the  shape of a  triangle. blow air into cut end

Step 3 - listen to the sound

Step 4 - cut it shorter

Step 5 - blow on cut end and listen

Data (What happened?)

straw length---results

long 15cm----- makes sound

10cm------ sound was higher

5cm------- sound was more high pitched.

Observations:

When I cut it it made a funny but when I cut it shorter the sound went higher then I cut it a bit more then the sound went to a high pitch sound

Conclusion:

My Hypothesis was wrong  because it did make sound and every time you cut to straw shorter the sound would make a high pitch sound.

What would it be like without sound

	Home	School	Outside	Other
What types of sounds can you hear?	e.g. phone ringing	e.g. people talking	e.g. children laughing	e.g. cars whizzing past
Which sounds do you like listening to? Why?	tv , music , people , Because its good to communicate	friends , jokes , laughing  because i like to laugh with my friends	laughing ,  mama  jokes they make me laugh	i like to listen to the cars go past
Why sounds are annoying? Why?	brother crying because i'm trying to watch tv	when its quiet because akward	nothing	when its loud cause it hurts my ears.

Finally, think about what your world would be like if you didn't have sound. What would it be like if you couldn't hear a single thing, or if you had to live in absolute silence? What do you think it would be like?  

What would it be like if you couldn't hear anything you couldn't hear the t.v you couldn't hear your mum calling you you couldn't hear anything. So this is why my class is writing about what it would be like without sound.

I like to listen to lots of things at home like the t.v and my family and friends that talk to me a lot. So if I couldn't hear any of those thing my life would be really boring at home.

Out side I like to listen to the cars go past because I like fast cars that make loud sounds and I like to talk to my neighbours because there nice people. If we couldn't hear those sound it would be dangerous because will not no if a car was coming.

Term 1 Reflection

My highlights this term would have to be...

Finishing my work and Reaching my Goals.

I have made improvements in my Math whizz, Xtramath and Studyladder. In xtramaths that is where I’ve made the most improvement because I have passed most of my tasks on there. On the other hand Maths whizz is going a little bit well and also on Studyladder I think I’m doing a good job on that.

I know this because my teacher shows us where we are at and if we have finished it. It shows us if we are where we should be at or if we are below where we are supposed to be at.

I still need to work hard to improve my Goals so I can achieve them and get better at it. If I wasn't working hard then I would drop my learning efforts. I know this because when I stopped trying I drop down in my learning and then sometimes I never improve my goals.

I am most proud of my efforts in maths because I have done well and I always complete my tasks.

My 3 main goals for Term 2 will be:

1.my maths.

2. Achieving my Goals

3. Learning new stuff that I can write about.

Fia Fia

On Wednesdays Pt England School had a fiafia night all sorts of groups were performing.

The group that I was in was senior hip hop.Our costume was yellow jeans and what ever to you like. I really like Hip Hop because I like to dance even though I dont have to. Our group was the 4 group to perform after bollywood.

The the stag was on the field so there we be lots of space for everyone to sit. Every student at Pt England was in a Group so it was really big. The First group up was kapa haka. There were also some store there too there were toffee apples, drinks and candy floss. Also there were lots of people taking photo of course.

My favourite group was middle hip hop because there group had cool songs and there dancers were really good. My second favourite group was Samona because they didn't just doing samona song they put some new song in it to and they were funny because some of them twerk in it.

It was really because we got to see lots of performances and we got to hang out with our friends and family.

Once upon a time there lived a clumsy boy named Kennedy.

He lived with his nana and his 12 brothers and sisters.

Kennedy had a really special talent and that was running.

The only problem was that he had no time to compete in races because he need to look after his nana and younger brother and sisters.

So then kennedy had spent lots of time thinking about it so then he made a schedule so that he can make time for his family and his racing.
