Tuning into Instrumental Sounds

This week in Nursery we are continuing to develop our listening skills by tuning into instrumental sounds. The children loved exploring different musical instruments by passing them around the circle and a having a go at playing each one. I was so impressed with how well the children were able to name each instrument and describe the sound it makes. Then we played some listening games such as trying to identify which instrument we heard while everyone closed their eyes.

We would like to invite the children to bring in a plastic bottle or container this week that we could recycle into our own musical instruments. We are hoping to fill them with lots of different things and decorate them so we can use them in our indoor and outdoor environment!
