Sounds around us



              In this lesson you will discover the importance of
              quiet and loud sounds.                                                      Key words

                                                                                          loud/quiet


              Think back


               Do you remember the listening walk? You had to
               listen very carefully to hear some of the sounds.




            Wild animals have quiet feet.

            Animals that hunt have very quiet feet!

            Look at the photograph of the leopard paw. Their

            feet have soft pads. This is so they can creep up on
            other animals.

            They try to get as close as they can before the other                               Padded

            animal hears them. Just like you did in the game
            you played on the last page.                                                    leopard paw

                                                                                          an animal. What

                  Moving quietly


               1  Your teacher will give you some items to investigate.

                 Can you make some special shoes to help you move quietly?
