Listening Walk

Today we went on a Listening Walk around school, inside and outside.

We listened carefully and heard all sorts of sounds, including:

An aeroplane, birds singing, coughing, footsteps, shouting, a car, a refuse truck, a clanging sound, trucks, keys jingling, sound from keys typing, a telephone and people talking and laughing.

Some sounds were quiet and others were loud.

Afterwards we worked in pairs whilst playing a game of Sounds Lotto. We listened carefully to the sounds and if we heard a sound pictured on our board, we covered it with a counter.

Then we talked about the sounds we liked, such as: a cat, a piano, a bouncing ball and a motorbike and sounds we didn't like, such as: thunder and lightning, shouting and a dog barking.

Lovely listening!
