Have you heard of a Hippocampus?? Well I am going to tell you about it. A Hippocampus is part of your brain that brings back old memories. Loud music can also Damage your eardrums and your hearing.

Have you heard of any artists in the world? Well I know a lot of artist and the ones I mostly like is Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Chris Brown and Tyga! They rap and sing a lot of songs! But the best artist I enjoy listening to is Ariana Grande!

You probably didn’t notice but when you listen to music your heart beats with it. This cause could happen by,Instruments, Sound and MUSIC!! Not only music can cause this but also instruments like, Drum kits, Guitars, pianos and even more.

But the world without Music and Sound is just weird. Also BORING. Think about a party without Music. That’ll be SUPER Boring. So Thanks to Music and Sound our world is Fun.

Summary Article

We were reading a book about a little Boy named Dylan, which was born deaf. The first implant was funded by the Health System in June 2011 .Dylan’s parents tried really hard to raise $50,000 to pay for his second cochlea implant which was done in September 2012. Dylan’s parents are now able to pay more attention their son. Dylan’s hearing really improved and his speech and development. The government will now pay for two cochlear implants for children under six years old starting in July.

What Can I hear??

There are many sounds around us. Teenagers nowadays enjoy listening to Music because it calms people down. Around our community we hear a lot of things. A lot of cars whizzing by, yelling and also announcements.

At home the most annoying sound is my brother, cause he always got to shout, cry, laugh loud and do annoying stuff!! Especially when he talks, he talks forever and gets in trouble. And at school I hate the sounds of growling.

Also the sound of Traffic Jams. Why? Well a lot of horns going by. And also traffic going very slowly. Ugh that is truly annoying right. Trying to get through to school and work.

There are so many sounds we can here around our environment and community. Such as sounds like lots of talking, kids crying and also yelling. Around our community, we hear a lot of things. Like today I had heard that the Sydney Roosters are going to play against the West Tigers. WOAH!!

Science Experiment

Science experiment:

Question: What will happen to the sound if I cut the straw shorter?

Links to research about Sound:

e.g. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/sound  

http://www.universetoday.com/61166/what-is-sound/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound

Hypothesis: (What do you think will happen?) e.g. I think that the sound will get higher.

Materials needed:

Scissors, Myself, Straw.

Experiment (procedure):

e.g. Step 1 - Creased the straw 2-3cm.

Step 2 - Then using the scissors again cut the end of the straw into a triangle.

Step 3 - Put the triangle shape into your mouth and blow,

Step 4 - Cut the straw shorter.

Step 5 - Blow the straw on the cut end. Then listen to what the sound makes.

Data (What happened?) Observation

Length:                                           Results:

Long 15cm	makes a sound
10cm	sound was higher
5cm	sound was high pitched

Observation

Long 15cm: When we first received our straws. The sound was very low

10cm:  The sound got higher.

5cm:  The was High Pitched.

Conclusion:

I have realised that when you cut the straw shorter. The sound will get Higher and higher every moment you cut it.

Immersion Assembly

It was eventually the first day of Term 2, and already we had an example of what the Main Topic was for the term. We started with an Immersion Assembly. Of all the teachers performing/Entertaining us of what our Team was going to do.

I really enjoyed watching Team 3’s Item.  Which was about Colours,Light and the Speed of Light. Performed By ~ Miss King, Miss Thompson, Miss Trimble, Mrs Barks and Miss Walters. They taught us a very good lesson on what Colours can do. But the question that was asked was “ What is the colour of a Banana in the Dark??

But I was still wondering what our Team was learning about (Team 5 by the way)  As soon as Mr Burt called out Team 5. We were so excited to know what we were going to learn about this Term.  So then our teachers finally announced that our Topic for this term is “Sound”

At the end it was finally Learning Time.
