What a wonderful musical afternoon we have had today. We found a nice shady spot and explored the different sounds of the instruments.
First, we closed our eyes and listened carefully to the sounds we could hear going on around us. We could hear children doing PE, the wind in the trees, cars driving up the drive, footsteps as people walked up the hill and birds tweeting.
We then had to find a musical instrument that sounded the same as the sounds we could hear.
After that we each choose an instrument and described the sound it made and thought of something it sounded like.
Our instruments sounded like …….
Ducks quacking
Snakes slithering in the grass
Thunder and Lightening
Rain
Father Christmas’ Reindeers
Tinkerbell the Fairy
Elephants stomping their feet
A woodpecker tapping the tree
