WHISPER PHONES

Dear grade 3 parents,

We have a homework task for you. We are planning to use ‘whisper phones’ in our reading groups next term. We felt that it would be good if each child had their own. Therefore, we need your help. If you could use the instructions below to create a ‘phone’ for your child. Any extras would also be welcome for those who are unable to construct one. You don’t need any special trades person skills.

You will need:

– 10cm length of 20mm PVC pipe (1m = $2.99 @ Bunnings)
– 2 X 20mm PVC elbows 90 degrees ($1.20 each @ Bunnings)
– Coloured electrical tape to personalise the phone

How to make a Whisper Phone:

Cut the PVC pipe to a 10cm length. Fit the elbows to each end – tightly push on each end.
Decorate the pipe with electrical tape or patterned tape to personalise the phone. Label with your child’s name.

Regards,

The grade 3 team
