Good morning P4/5! I hope you enjoyed dancing The Charleston yesterday, you certainly have to have fast feet! Have a look at today’s activities below.
Ring ring! Hello? Who’s there?
Let’s take a moment to honour this master inventor of the telephone in 1876, and other innovations on Alexander Graham Bell Day!
Born in Scotland in 1847, Bell was educated in the UK and then moved to North America in his early 20s. From an early age, Bell was interested and curious about the world around him. By the age of 12 he had invented a dehusking machine that his friend’s family used at their flour mill for many years.
To celebrate this day you could make your own plastic cup or tin can telephone joined by a piece of string. Pull the string tight to listen to the ‘caller’ speak from a distance.
Look at a few of the previous designs of the telephone. None of these have a camera or can connect to the internet. Design your own telephone of the future.
Don’t forget about the Sumdog Challenges – I can see who has logged in and who has not!
