Learning Activity 5

Topic Work

Mrs Manning is looking forward to reading your research tasks on the Rainforest. When we return to school we will spend time sharing our learning on the Rainforest.

In Term 4 we will be working on a Science topic learning about sound. As an introduction to this new topic use the log on details below to get on to the Tig Tag website.

Click on the what is sound link below to open up activities.
What is Sound?
Remember to complete the quiz on ‘What is Sound?’ in the P4/5 Team page when you have completed the task.
Next Steps:
Once we understand more about sound a big part of our learning will be researching how animals use sound to communicate. I felt this fitted in really well with our Rainforest topic and I think it will be a really interesting topic for us to learn about.
