Underwater Speaker Prototype!

Our prototype is an underwater speaker that would sit on the bottom of fishing boats. The speaker would play loud Orca/killer whale sounds to scare away dolphins, sharks, whales and sea turtles from big fishing nets. This is a major problem for all sea creatures and if we don’t change now we may have no more sea life left.

Did you know recent studies show that more than 87,000 sharks, 3,400 dolphins and 1,100 sea lions over the past 25 years have died due to fishing nets. The nets are also estimated to have killed more than 380 whales and 100 sea turtles! WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING NOW!

Our invention is an underwater speaker that plays loud Orca\killer whale sounds to scare away sharks, dolphins and a few more sea creatures. The speaker would sit under large fishing boats and play the sounds, The sound will not affect the fish as much as it will other sea creatures as they can’t exactly hear noises, as of this, the fish number caught should still be the same. Who would want to kill a graceful dolphin?

Music

In the music room the whole class is doing a project

on how companies have different slogans and jingles,

Mrs Dowden divided us up into groups and gave us

all the company name Malafada. Each group was given

a jingle tune (mostly nursery rhymes) and we were given

a product. We all were given a piece of paper to write

down any ideas we have, and we created our own jingle.

Then we had to practice them until we knew them

off by heart. We are going to present to the whole

class, and Mrs Dowden will choose the best

performances and show them at the next whole

school assembly.

Different groups will have turns to perform

and they will all have different jingles,
there are currently four different groups,
sunblock, sandwich spread, deodorant
and toothpaste.

Every group has to sing to the tune of the rhyme

and they have to make it about forty-five seconds

to a minute, and usually they have to sing the

chorus twice. At the end you have to say your

slogan again and you say the company's name.

Room 7 has been working hard to

make a jingle and a slogan for their companies.

The Kiwi Icon

Room 7 had been working on the kiwi icon for weeks. We have worked on showing the icon  that we wanted to save the most. Mrs Swan told us,“If you could save any icon from New Zealand what would it be?” We all had to take in to account that there was so much of them that we would have to choose carefully and work out how important they are. We thought  the hardest/most stressful time was when we didn’t have the resources we needed, last week.

The How We Made The Kiwi Icon

First of all we painted the foam balls, then we waited for the paint to dry, on the second day we did a second layer and also painted the beak,The next day we put on the googly eyes. After that we made the kiwi’s base ( Home/Natural habitat ) And we put the skewers for the feet. Then, we put the skewers in the base of the habitat and it stood up! We then put the beak on and we were finished. I think that the best part was when we finished because that was when we were all relieved since we had been working for weeks
