Leaves, Leaves and More Leaves

For our art work this term we have been doing some observational drawings. We had great fun going on a ‘leaf walk.’ We looked for leaves, carefully thinking about detail. We all chose our favourite leaves. In class we drew our leaf and Mrs Kingra said ‘we are all great artists!’

We have been making lots of noise!

In science this half term we are learning all about 'Sound'. We have been investigating how we can make sounds with different musical instruments. We found that we could make different sounds by shaking, banging, tapping and blowing a range of instruments. We really enjoyed having a go at playing the instruments and trying to make loud and quiet sounds!

Here are some photographs of us making some different sounds.

Having had such fun playing with different instruments we were then able to make our own! We decorated polystyrene cups to make shakers. We each decided whether we wanted to make a loud or a quiet sound with our shaker and then we chose an appropriate material (rice, pasta, polystyrene balls etc.) to put inside the cup and stuck the lids on tight!

We used lots of glitter to decorate our shakers........................

Then we all had fun playing them..........................

We took our shakers home for our parents to enjoy the sounds we can make with them!

Bye for now!
