Hi everyone!<\/span><\/p>\n

This week I thought it would be fun to have a music and sound themed week! <\/span> \"😊\"<\/p>\n

Task 1. [Art<\/span>] Create your very own musical instruments! \"\"<\/p>\n

You can make an instrument out of just about anything – as long as it makes a sound.  Your challenge is to create a musical instrument out of household items.  It can be a shaker made from a plastic bottle with rice inside, or a drum made out cardboard boxes and a wooden spoon, or even something a bit more creative.  Have fun experimenting with all the different sounds and instruments you can make.  Here <\/a>is a link for some great ideas in case you do feel like getting crafty!<\/p>\n

Task 2.  [Literacy<\/span>] Sound Stories. \"\"<\/p>\n

Create sound effects for a story!  An excellent sensory experience that lots of us really enjoy is a sound story, which is basically a story that has props that helps us to make the sounds that are inside a story.  A good story to create sound effects for is ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen. There is even a very well know song that goes with this story! Here<\/a> is a link to a Youtube video of someone who has created very simple sound effects using mostly household items.  Here<\/a> is another link to give you some other prop ideas.<\/p>\n

Task 3. [Science<\/span>] Explore sound. \"\"<\/p>\n

You will need a large bowl (glass works best), clear plastic wrap or clingfilm, a radio\/CD player (or anything that makes a loud noise) that can be placed close to the bowl or vice versa and either grains or rice or small bits of scrunched up tissue paper. Here<\/a> is a link to watch the experiment being done.<\/p>\n
