The Horrible Holocaust

 Kia ora readers and bloggers, This term in Mr Gilstroms Literacy We have been reading a book called Once. The book is about a Jewish boy called Felix and he was in an orphanage and he had a carrot in his soup and he thought it was a sign from his parents coming back, he also ran away from the orphanage and a Nazi soldier tried to shoot at him because he used him as target practice, saw a truck going by full with half-naked people, saw a red river and a lot more ill try not to spoil it! Felix has a different way of looking at things, he had a wild imagination and made everything positive. I have made a Website on The holocaust one for the many concentration camps in the world I have linked it to a photo of my website.

Our task was to make a google site and come up with questions starting with Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. My ones were Who built and discovered the camps, What Did The Jewish People Wear In The Camps, When Did The Holocaust Start And End, Where Was the concentration Camps Located? Why did Hitler choose to kill the jews? And how could you tell who is Jewish and who is not?

Then we had to make some connections with the world and the book "Once". Like the feeling of getting lost. What would you do if you were put in a concentration camp? bye bloggers!

Yanny or Laurel

 

Kia ora readers, and bloggers This week we have been learning about the "Yanny or Laurel" Have you heard it before? Well if you have or haven't I'm going to tell you facts about it and how it works. 

Yanny or laurel, what do you hear? I’m sure you have seen the Blue or the gold dress but have you heard the yanny or laurel. It’s all over the internet and I’m going to be telling you facts about it and how it works.

Professor David Alais says the Yanny/laurel is an example of a perceptually ambiguous stimulus. Meaning something can be understood in two different ways. Often you can hear one word one minute, then hear the other because of the frequency changes.

If you lower the frequency of the sound you will have a higher chance of hearing “Laurel” but if you make the frequency higher you can hear “yanny” ”Yally”. If you have your sound quite low you will hear laurel but if you have the sound playing on a speaker you could hear yanny because of the bass frequency.  It also depends on what music you listen to if you listen to pop you can hear yanny but if you listen to rock you will hear laurel because the laurel is in the low frequency and for yanny, it’s in the high frequency.

I think it’s a weird topic to talk about because its different for everyone so it’s everyone’s got different opinions and some people can hear better or worse than everyone else. When I listened to the audio I heard the “laurel” and “yanny” so I would hear laurel one minute then yanny the next.

I hope you like my writing about Yanny or Laurel. What do you hear? Yanny or Laurel?
