Car Sound Journey

As part of our transport topic, Tigers created car sound journeys. For inspiration, we watched this Honda advert and discussed the different elements that we heard. The children then had an opportunity to explore a wide range of tuned and untuned instruments, experimenting with ways in which they could reflect the noises of a car journey. When thinking about the noise of rain on a car roof, the children learned about tempo and how playing at different speeds could show the rain getting heavier. They then put the different sounds together to create a cohesive journey on paper. Finally, the children performed their composition, following a conductor and showing a great deal of concentration and enthusiasm.
