Dear
Parents and Friends of the Cooper Room,
What
a lovely week we have had exploring instruments from home. The children have
been bringing in a variety of interesting instruments to allow us to experiment
with them and listen to the different sounds. We have loved listening to
the cymbals shake and vibrate – even the floor was vibrating. The bongo drums
were great for making a great beat – fast then slow. The xylophone made all
different sounds – tiny little sounds all the way to big dong dong sounds.
Using
the salad spinners we have been creating amazing paintings using a whirring
sound. The children have loved adding all their colours and then waiting to see
what happens in the end.
The
trip to the zoo on Thursday was a highlight. The children listened to the
amazing sounds which filled the zoo and then we made our way following our
check list of what we thought we would hear.
“I
can hear something loud. It’s a monkey,” said Alex
“I
see a tiger. Wake up tiger,” said Daniel
“Don’t
yell too loud you’ll wake him up and then he’ll be very cranky!” added Oliver
“This
is where the meerkats are, look here, meerkats here I am!” Toby
Come
into the Cooper room and see our zoo next week!
Kind
regards
Susan
and Coral
