Sound All Around

Out Central idea for unit is --- Sounds convey meaning to us in different ways

media type="youtube" key="5ekUyxxpBt0" height="390" width="640" Only those who listen can hear - WOW - watch this short film and think about sources of sound, the connections between sound, music and dance....and storytelling......and rhythm.....

The children have been using a program in ICT called AUDACITY. This is a new tool for myself and the children to use, so some of the results are still a little scratchy. They can record their own voices and then play with the pitch, the speed and add sound effects to their voice. I asked the children What is sound? and they recorded their own answers. I am amazed at their independant thinking and the creativity of their replies to this question. Click on the play arrow above the name and listen yourselves.........
