Hearing

On the 10th of February 2014, our classroom went into a spare classroom (room 21) for a hearing programme. A lady taught us all about hearing. After that, we went back into OUR classroom and jumped onto our devices, went onto google drive and wrote all about it. Here is mine:

Hearing
On the 10th of Feburary 2014, room 19 walked noisily into room 21 where a lady was going to teach us about hearing. She taught us lots of facts about the ears and here are some of them:


  • There are tiny little hairs (even smaller than millermetres) in your ear and when you hear something, the tiny hairs move around.


  • The louder the noise is, the more faster the hairs move around.


  • If any hair in your ear moves around too fast, it will die. There is no cure for the hair if it died.


  • The wax in your hair is supposed to stay in your ear so if you buy cotton buds to take wax out of your ear, your wasting your money and taking out usefull stuff from you ear.

It is best not to put anything long like cotton buds into your ear cause it could damage your eardrum, but you can put earplugs in your ear, but don't put it in too much!

We also played some activities (bit more like experiments) with balls and pipe cleaners. We learnt a lot today.

Cute rabbit time!


On the 19th of March, a student in our classroom brought her cute little rabbit to school today. The rabbit is a girl and is very cute. Pretty much everyone in the class wanted to pat her. Some other students in the class wanted to take photos of her instead with their devices. Here are some photos I took:

Crocodiles and Alligators



Crocodiles and Alligators

"Oh, my goodness! Is that a... a... a... Crocodile??! AAAHHHHH!!!"

Did you know that crocodiles and alligators are the world's largest reptiles?

Habitats
Crocodiles and alligators Live in wetlands such as swamps, rivers, tropical rain forests, and near ocean islands.

 They are mostly found by Australia, Asia, Africa, South America, and North America.

Finding their pray
Crocodiles and alligators use their very good senses to find their pray.

One of their senses helps them to detect movement underwater

All over their face, mostly their mouth, detects the tiniest vibrations of animals underwater.

Hunted
Crocodiles and alligators are hunted a and killed for their skin and use it to make expensive shoes and handbags.

Hunters also kill them for their meat too.



Now you are a Crocodile and alligator expert! Now share the amazing facts with your friends and family.
