Title: Piper by the sand

Author: John O'Brien

Today I read about a book about an instrument in the sand.

I feel good about what I read today because a boy named

Dougal.

My favourite character was Dougal because he wanted to find out more about what the sound was.

I would feel happy if the same thing that happened to my character, happened to me because I would've found a instrument

I think if the author decided to write another part to this story this is what will happen he will find a ukulele

Make a string telephone

What you’ll need:

• 2 paper cups
• A sharp pencil to help poke holes
• String

Instructions:

1. Cut a long piece of string
2. Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup.
3. Thread the string through each cup and tie knots at each end to stop it pulling through the cup.
4. Move into position with you and a friend holding the cups at a distance that makes the string tight.
5. One person talks into the cup while the other puts to their ear and listens.

What happening ?

Speaking into the cup creates sound waves which are converted into vibrations at the bottom of the cup.

The vibrations travel along the string and are converted back into sound waves at the other end so your friend can hear what what you said. Sound travels through the air but it travels even better through solids such as your cup and string, allowing you to hear sounds that might be too far away when travelling through the air

Persuasive Writing About Wearing Uniforms

   Persuasive Writing About

Should or should not wear uniforms and why.

Argument 1: I think we should wear school uniforms so we can be easily identified from other people.

When your school have sport’s and `you are going on a bus to vs other inter school, they will know what school you are from. Also,  when you wake up in the morning it's easier to find where your uniform is. So when you come back from school, you can put your uniforms somewhere you can easily find it the next morning . It’s is good  because when you are going

to church there are still good and clean for school the next day.

From my argument you can know see why I think wearing uniforms is good

Reading

Decimals

Today I learnt how to understand and do decimals

This is what I learnt?

0.54+1.20=1.74

1.25+0.90=2.15

5.230+2.156=7.386

6.290+1.432=7.722

7.685+4.600=12.285
