During education week all the childrens grandparents came to visit the school. All the grandparents had a look at all the kids work.

Wakakiri and dance Ensoumble peformed to entertain everyone. The band played songs too. The library had a bookstall and was selling books for kids. The SRC was also selling the Gymea Lily ( the school newspaper ).

Everybody had a great time at Grandparents day, but everything was a little crowded!

Things we learnt from the WillowWeb podcast:

• Dolphins can hear better than other animal
• Sound can travel through walls

• The shape of our ears help us hear sounds
• If sound bounces off a wall it’s an echo
• Kids can hear better than adults
• Part of our 5 senses
• Babies can hear before they are born
• Quick vibration make a high pitch sound and slow vibrations make a low sound.

Things we found interesting about the way the podcast was made:

• Some people liked the jokes some thought they weren’t really funny
• Lots of interesting infromation
• Different music
• Well set out with sements
• They had a quiz, it was a little bit too easy
• Year 3

• Show pictures to go with the topic
• Take turns
