26th and 27th June
We spent some more time on music this morning. First we watched a short silent movie and listened to the accompanying musical sound track featuring a range of sound effects made by percussion instruments. Then we created a music score for this, creating icons to represent the different instruments and to show when and how they were being played at different points. After that we studied another short film and this time created our own soundtrack.
In the afternoon we had French, did a maths investigation and finished the day with PE.
Today we continued our Kensuke's Kingdom work. We read the next part of the story and then thought about a storm at sea by studying and episode from earlier in the book, listening to some sound recordings and watching some video clips. We used these experiences to make notes of descriptive words and phrases and then began to think of suitable similes and metaphors that could be used to enrich description of a storm at sea.
After that we did some more maths investigations and spent the afternoon on our Design Technology. Our focus today was creating a net for a cube to create a "jack-in-a-box" type pop-up device using pneumatics.
