Sarona Sound: What can I hear?

Sound: What can I hear?

Team 5’s Inquiry focus this term is about Physics and the Science of ‘Sound’.

This week you are going to write an explanation about the different types of sounds that you can hear in your environment.

Think about the sounds that surround you - at home, at school, outside.

What types of sounds can you hear? Where do they come from? Use the table to help you organise your ideas:

	Home	School	Outside	Other
What types of sounds can you hear?	e.g. phone ringing	e.g. people talking	e.g. children laughing	e.g. cars whizzing past
Which sounds do you like listening to? Why?	My family laughing.	Music and funny jokes.	Children playing and laughing.	The wind
Why sounds are annoying? Why?	When you're younger siblings cry.	When there jokes get annoying and you just want them to Shhhh!	People arguing outside.	When People just come from somewhere and sing in front of you're face.

It would be boring without hearing anything because when you want to hear something like you're favourite video clip and you just wanted to hear the song but you can not. Also I think it would be a waste of time having ears when you just can’t talk and hear  anything.

If I couldn't hear and when someone is trying to tell me something and I couldn't hear that person it would be really difficult because if you wanted to hear what that person told you and they can’t do sign language to you. Also if I would be crossing the road and you never checked Left and the right of you then you just crossed and you nearly got crashed that would've been scary.

What's annoying to me at home is when my little siblings cry because it gives me a headache. Also what's annoying to me outside is when I hear People screaming and Arguing about something.
