Save the birds

 Hi blogger

This week, we made a poster about saving the birds. You could choose your Predator, so I picked cats because I know that cats are very good at hunting and that they are mini tigers.

For the poster, I used Canva because Canva is fun to use.

The problem was that

Some people are injured at the bottom of a sheer rock face.  They need medicine, some of which is fragile and has to be packaged so that it will not break.  You do not have a cord to lower it gently; it will have to be dropped.  We tried to protect an egg. Our egg was called Bob

1 meter of String 

1 sheet of thin card

Sellotape

Scissors

YANNY OR LAUREL WHAT DO YOU HEAR?

Hey, bloggers, today listened to the Yanny or Laurel audio. In our Literacy class, most of us heard Yanny instead of Laurel. We wonder why we were hearing different words, and then Mr. G told us that the answer is in the 

 In our Literacy, most of us heard Yanny instead of Laurel. The secret is frequency. The audio information that makes us hear Yanny is higher frequency than the audio information that makes us hear Laurel. Some of the variations may be due to the audio system playing the sound. For example, you might have a better set of headphones that might make you hear different sounds like the Yanny and Laurel.

But some of it is also the parts of your ears, and what you’re expecting to hear. Sometimes you could hear both and that is normal for some people. Older adults tend to start losing their hearing and stop hearing a high frequency, which means you will hear Laurel more than Yanny. In the whole world, 42% of people hear Laurel, 40% of people hear Yanny and 17% of people hear both. If you listen to loud music you probably hear  Laurel because of its low frequency.
