This we we were working on the Meta Skill Social Intelligence. This meant we were communicating, collaborating and leading. We listened to the story Jack and the Beanstalk and thought about the characters and main points. We discussed how the characters would act, what they say and talked about how the story would be better with sound effects. We then split into smaller groups, each with a different character or main point noise to make. We worked together to think how best to create the sounds required. We then came back together and went through the story this time adding in our own sound effects. We had lots of tapping on tables for characters walking or running and the Giant’s footsteps made with slaps on the floor. We had some really good hens clucking around and the harp was made by someone hitting their water bottle. Our Giant’s voice was very good when he bellowed ‘Fee, fi fo, fum’. We had good fun collaborating together to create all these sound effects and it all came together to make the story come to life for us.
