Dangerous Decibels

Today at school we had a subject that we did. It was called Dangerous Decibels. A decibel (Or db for short) is practically a way of measuring noise, like how if you want to know what something weighs you use grams or kilograms so on and so on. Anyway what we learnt at dangerous decibels was, what is a safe number of decibels that we can be around. The answer to that is 85 db. The highest decibel that I know something can go up to is 150, I just can't remember what that was that went that high. We also used these things called tuning forks. I learnt that these tools can break teeth if you whack them them put them to your teeth. Also if you whack them against something and then put them to your ear and it could damage your ear.

Homework task - G7 (Adopt a pet from the SPCA)

My family recently adopted a cat from the SPCA. His name is Ginger Ninja (based on the colour of his fur) but we call him Ninja for short. He is 19 weeks old, loves food and is very playful. He is annoying sometimes especially when he chooses to do his business (Poo) in your school bag which had your mouthguard in it. He is still a member of the family though and we love him. Every now and then we have these incidents with him when he runs off outside and we have this huge look for him and he is in a bedroom or something. Overall Ninja is a great member of the family and is fun to play with.
