Afternoon Activities

Good afternoon Primary 3!

As you know, rainbows have been used as a symbol to show our appreciation to NHS workers and many other key workers who have continued to work during lockdown. Here is a Lego challenge for you this afternoon, Can you create your own Lego rainbow?

Music

When do the sounds made by everyday objects become music? Let’s face it, we’re surrounded by sound and some sounds are definitely more appealing than others! If there’s a musical intention, any sound maker can be used to make music.

• Listen
  Leroy Anderson wrote a fantastic piece of music in 1950 for an orchestra and a…typewriter! It’s very fast and the person who plays the typewriter part has to be very skilled.

Compose and perform
Look around your home for a machine which is able to make a range of sounds (make sure to ask permission from an adult first!). Experiment with the sounds it makes then create your own piece of music.

Can you think of a name for your orchestra and a song title for your piece of music?

 

Enjoy your afternoon,
