Read and listen to the             DIDIYOU KNOW...?
                        poem. Which sound                The largest, and loudest, musical
                        doesn't the writer like?         instrument in the world is a pipe

                                                         organ in a music hall in the USA. It's
                                                         got more than 33,000 pipes, and it's six
                                                         times louder than a steam-train whistle!

                 Sounds I love to hear
                 I love to hear my cat meowing because it
                 means she wants me to cuddle her.
                 I love to hear the 'ding-dong' of the
                 doorbell ringing because it means we
                 have a visitor.

                 I love to hear my friends giggling because
                 it means they are happy and having fun.

                 I love to hear plates clattering in the
                 kitchen because it means dinner will be
                 ready soon.

                 I love to hear rain tapping on my window
                 because it makes me feel cosy and safe
                 inside.
                 But I hate to hear the cars zooming outside
                 because it makes me feel stressed.

                the poem in Activity 1.
                                                          We use sound words to help the reader hear the
                                                          sounds you are writing about.
                                                           If we shake a tiny bell, we hear a high ring.
                                                           A baby's cry is louder than the honk of a car horn.


                    In pairs, brainstorm sounds that you love and sounds that you hate.
                    Explain why. Complete the table in your notebook.
