Sounds

This week we talked about sounds.  We realised that sounds means 'noises' and that they can come from many different sources.  Some sounds come from people, some from living creatures, some from machines and then there are natural sounds which we called 'other'.

We went outside and listened to see what sounds we could hear in our environment.  Because we were so quiet we could hear many sounds.  It was a stormy day so we heard leaves rustling in the wind and rain dropping on the roof.  We were even lucky enough to hear a mother duck quacking to her ducklings as they wandered past us!  We could hear a train rumbling by in the distance, the sound of hammering and lots of running feet!

We tried to think about some other sounds that we might be able to hear in nature.  We thought of a bee buzzing around, an alligator snapping his mouth shut, thunder, waves crashing onto the beach and the sound of waves from a seashell.  

What other natural sounds can you think of?
