Weapons of Sound

Today I took some KS2 children to Hillfields to a music and recycling workshop.

Firstly we took part in a workshop run by Weapons of Sound; they are a fantastic band that are internationally famous! They play huge big instruments made from recycled materials e.g. gas pipes. Our children joined other local children and together we played a rhythm piece; what fun we had wacking the drums!

Afterwards the children designed an Auditory Garden ; they did this in groups with a small presentation of their ideas at the end. The ideas were wonderful; can you imagine a garden full of sounds and instruments thay you could play, with wind chimes in the trees, xylophones as stepping stones and so much more? Well our children did!

Throughout the children were a credit to the school; keen, interested and polite. Well done everyone, you were a joy to spend the afternoon with.
