MUSIC - To create a soundscape with an identifiable structure

 In Music today Year 4 revisited the hot air balloons and we began to talk about how we can symbolise different sounds, such as the whooosh of the hot air filling the balloon, the sounds of the material flapping as it fills with air, the creaks of the basket and the sounds of the people. We talked about pitch, duration, texture, structure and timbre. 

Working in groups, the children were given a specific part of the journey and they had to create a soundscape for that part - inflating, rising and drifting. 

Next week, they will practice their soundscape with tuned and untuned instruments.
