Dear Langley parents and friends,
This
term we have really been having a lot of noisy fun, experimenting with
different instruments and our voices to see what sounds we can make. The
children have shown a huge interest in this so we decided to create some of
our own instruments. We got creative with pop sticks, empty bottles, wooden
spoons, recycled formula tins, confetti, rocks, balloons, beads and a whole lot
of glue and fishing wire. The children made drums, maracas and twist shakers.
Angelina, Bernie and Lachlan made a twist shaker each using
wooden spoons, Miss Emily helped by tying some fishing wire to the spoon and
then assisted threading beads onto the wire – they had great concentration and
steady hands, they didn’t need much help at all! Scarlett B and Sterling made Maracas by filling the bottles with small rocks and colourful beads then attaching pop
sticks to create a handle. Elle and Brooke made drums – The girls put a few
beads into the tins then Miss Emily asked them to pick out two colours of the
balloons, she then stretched them over the formula tins and taped the balloons
down! Once all the important sounds making was finished on their instruments
the children decorated with glue, confetti and pop
sticks!
We have been rocking it out, singing songs and dancing with
our instruments! They look and sound FABULOUS!
Have a great weekend,
Jess, Kerry, Nicole and Emily.
