On Wednesday mornings we have Music with Gordon.  Go to Categories and select music and scroll down.  It is Music with Gordon 27 April: Primary.

It seems a long time ago but on Wednesdays we have swimming with Graeme. Well we can’t go swimming at the moment but some of you might remember that when we were learning about Finding Dory I brought in a Wii game for us all to play – Endless Ocean.  Have a look below and swim in the Ocean (skip to 48 seconds).

I hope you enjoyed that.

Make music using the Bloom app

Bloom (£3.99) Create or listen to calming music with colourful visuals. The app is very intuitive and doesn’t require strong motor skills. Just touching the screen is enough to make a sound colour. Because the sounds and colours repeat and fade gaps in interactions are filled naturally and gently.

Good for: This would be a good app for a calm activity for one or even two or more people taking it in turns to play and sharing the screen.
