Natural musical masterpieces
What a marvellous afternoon of music making we enjoyed today!
Our first activity involved word making using stones and we were amazed at just how many words we could make out of ten stones!
We then focused on investigating rhythms …. and after that we moved on to creating some wonderful sounds using natural materials. I am sure you will agree we sound great!
