Y4 Sound workshop
Wed 07 Jun 2023Year 4 had a brilliant Science morning participating in a sound workshop with Dan from 'School of Noise'. They experienced lots of different types of sound, ways of making sound and found out how we hear sounds. They learnt lots of facts ready to design posters back in the classroom. In groups, they got to experiment with Foley sounds, which is how sound makers on films create the sound effects we hear as we watch TV or listen to clips. This part was especially interesting as they got to see how everyday objects, when recorded, can become sounds like fire or walking on snow. Finally, as a class, they made lots of different noises with their bodies, such as clapping, which were recorded, put together and made into a piece of music. They found out such a lot in this workshop and really enjoyed it!
