This is a video of my speech. I did well with speaking in a clear voice. I need to work on memorizing my speech. I hope you enjoy it!

How we hear sound

This is a diagram of the ear. I will now tell you how sound travels through the ear. First something makes a sound and creates sound waves. Next the sound travels past the pinna (the big flappy thing) and through the ear canal.Third of all the sound waves hit the ear drum. Next it goes through the ossicles and it is no longer a sound wave. It goes through the cochlea and sends a messege to the brain. Don't worry about the yellow thing because nobody knows what it is!

My mini speech

This is a video of my mini speech. I did well with using gestures and using eye contact. I need to work on speaking in a loud clear voice so the audience can hear me. Hope you like it!

My reading book review

Lately I have been reading bridge to teribethia. Bridge to terabethia is about a boy called jess and a girl called Leslie. I found it interesting that Jess  likes to paint. I don't understand why Jess and Leslie made up teribethia in the first place.

My maths goal

My maths goal is to learn my 6x and 7x tables. I can achieve this by using my 5x tables to solve the problem.

6x7=42
(6x5=30)+(6x2=12)

My next goal is to recall these times tables quickly.

Exploring sound

Room7`s  topic for term 2 is exploring sound.
I already know...

1. sound travels in vibrating waves
2. sound is measured in decibels
3. lots of different things make lots of different sounds

I would like to know ... why does sound exist?
