Hi P1,
You seem to be doing well with the tasks set by all our P1 teachers. Well done!
Today’s learning is about sources of sound and ways to make sounds. It also includes using our senses and linking hearing/sound together. You can do some of these activities or all of them if you wish. You might want to wait a few days until you collect some recycled materials. E.g. cereal box, yogurt pots etc.
| Resources you might need |
| · Pencils/pens and blank paper
· Junk recycling/glue or tape/straws/rice/lentils · Open window/garden/short walk · Appliances around the house that produce “sound” |
| Questions to explore |
| · What type of sound can you hear- loud/quiet/soft?
· What type of sound does your instrument make? How can you make it louder? How can you make it quiet? · What sounds can you hear around you? What helps you to hear? · Apart from sound/hearing, what other senses do you have? |
| Information you might want to record |
| · Open a window or go into the garden. Close your eyes and listen…what can you hear? Draw what you think is making the sounds around you.
· Make an instrument that makes a loud sound/Make an instrument that makes a quiet sound…how can you make it now quieter or louder? What do you need to do? Make a video of you playing along to your favourite song with your instruments…tell us if it is your loud or quiet instrument before you start to play it. · Go on a senses walk around the house/back garden/ on your short walk….what can you hear/see/smell/feel?…can you taste anything? Draw around your hand and on each finger write hear, see, smell, feel, taste (five fingers, five senses) and draw on each finger what you heard/saw etc on your senses walk. |
Have fun P1! We look forward to seeing photographs of any of the activities you decide to do (Remember not to name a child when a photograph of them is posted on social media).
