Today in the noisy quiet room the children took part in a listening activity. Following our current interest of ‘the farm’ we tested our knowledge of what animal sounds we could identify. These included farm animals and other animals in the wider world.
Using an animal sounds CD and matching picture cards we got to work. First we looked at the animal card and identified the animal. Then together we made the sound we thought it would make. Next we listed to the animal sound on the CD to see if we were correct. We all used our voices to make some really good animal sounds.
Once we were more familiar with the animal sounds we decided to challenge ourselves a little more. This time we played the sound first and then selected what animal it was from the cards displayed. We worked together as a team to identify all the animals displayed.
“I think it’s a guinea pig”
“Cow”
“It’s a big rooster”
“That’s a turkey, it’s like a chicken”
Everyone did a fantastic job using their listening and talking skills to develop their knowledge of animal sounds. Well done everyone!
