Sound by Room 1

Sound!!!!!!! sound!!!!!!!!sound!!!!!!!sound!!!!! by Room 1
We are studying sound and different sound and how sound is made. We made telephones from plastic cups and string so we can see how sound travels. It was lots of fun. We worked with a partner and put a hole in the bottom of the cup to put the string through We had to tie knots in the end of the string so the string would stay and we could join it to the next cup.

 Here we threaded through the string

We talked through our phones to each other.

Our Dyed Strips of Aotearoa

We did our smaller pastel strips of Aotearoa for practise and to understand Earth to Sky pictures. We included the Maori symbols that we had learnt into our pictures especially the koru pattern. The koru pattern is very important in New Zealand. We also did a pencil sketch first for our very big strip, just as we had done for our smaller pastel strips. We went over our outline with black vivids. This was important as it made the dividers for our different dye colours. These dyed strips were very, very big and we spent a lot of time doing these carefully. We could use many different and beautiful coloured dyes. We concentrated hard and produced excellent colourful work.

I used lots of pastels and lots of colours My mountain reached the sun.Mrs Greenham said my work was great.
