Being Creative with Sounds

This was the last activity we did in the unit and in this school year. The Grade 1s applied their understanding of sounds to create sound effects for the short story, The Sun and the Wind. They imitated foley in filmmaking and made use of everyday things available in the classroom to add sound effects to the story. They worked in groups, looked into the story and the possible sounds to be heard such as the footsteps of the traveller, the gentle blowing of the wind, the crisp sound of the burning sun, and others. The Grade 1s were very creative and analytical too. Thye listened carefully to the sounds they can create when they rubbed or tapped or rolled objects they found inside the classroom. This marked as our final class activity for the school year 2024-2025. The Grade 1s deserved a big round of applause for a job well done. :)
