How sound travels
Sounds produce waves. We saw that soft, gentle sounds make small waves like this...
Medium level sounds produce sound waves that look like this...
Loud sounds make big sound waves like this...
We made some 'sound waves' using pipe cleaners.
Learning about our ears
Room 21 children found out that sounds travel from our ears to our brain! Here are the main things we learnt from some videos we watched today:

Room 22 Talent Quest Auditions
Today Room 22 selected some students from our class to put forward for the Arahoes Got Talent auditions. Well done to all the students who performed in front of our class and good luck to Fleur and Devashree who will be auditioning for the competition.
Trying out new ideas
We were excited because we did painting today! The catch was that we couldn't paint with brushes and we could only choose one colour plus white. We found lots of different ways to apply paint - sponges, wool, cardboard tabs, rubber bands, and knives.
Room 21 visits the Music Room
Because Room 21 have started their second year of school the class can now visit Mrs Sadgrove for Music. Today Mrs Sadgrove listened and watched the performances of Room 21 students who are auditioning for Arahoe's Got Talent. She was able to give students some tips on how to improve their performances.
Performing for an audience
Room 21 has some great Arahoe's Got Talent hopefuls! This morning we were a good audience and listened to Ethan sing, watched Josh tap dance, Blake, Lucas B and Lucas B break dance, and saw Jiya's Indian dance moves!

Ears
Our ears are not just on the sides of our head. They go inside our head too! Ears are made up if three parts:
Writing about planets
In Writing today some of us wrote poems about the planet we painted last week. We thought about what we would see, hear, feel, smell and taste on that planet.
Request for Stationery
Hello parents,
Many children have finished their scrapbooks and Writing books. It would be appreciated if you would send along two new scrapbooks and two 2PP Writing books as soon as you can. Thank you.

Making our own addition problems
Each of us were given a set of paw prints with numbers 1-20 printed on them. We made our own addition problems and solved them. We did this activity differently.

Using fingers in Math
In Math, some children practiced making numbers quickly using their fingers. We watched an online die and when it stopped rolling, we made the number it showed quickly. Making numbers on our hands quickly will help us with our adding skills.
