Just a reminder For Pukeko Gain children could you please bring in your recyclables for  Friday. We have had such fun learning about Sound with Mr B and are looking forward to making our own instruments this Friday.

Cup Telephones

Did you know that just like we travel to school so does sound travel!
We travel by car, scooter and our own legs. Today we found out that our sound can travel by string!!!
Check out our photos of us experimenting with cup telephones.

We are Scientists !
We have been learning about pitch and how the amount of vibrations made changes the pitch. 
We used glass bottles with different amounts of coloured water in each one. This changed the pitch. The one with the least amount of water made a higher pitch because more vibrations were produced. 
We even got to play the glass bottles like a percussion, woodwind and brass instrument.

Pukeko Nest wish to extend a warm welcome to Orion and his family. We look forward to having you.

Instrument Families

   This week we learnt that just like we belong to a family so do musical instruments.
   We found out that there are 4  families that music instruments belong to.

   We watched a youtube clip. You can view it by clicking the picture below.

                                           We can show you the four families.

                                          
                                                                      

Many of our Pukeko Nest children enjoyed Pukeko Sport on Wednesday after school. Here are some great pics of the girls putting everything into their Netball skills training.
 Thanks Jo.
