Children listen closely to how sounds affect mood, where sounds originate, how objects produce them, and how they travel and convey messages. Listening, sound-making experiments, visual response, letter Rr, and number 6 work build attentive comparison and communication vocabulary.
What children learn
- Describe how different sounds can influence feelings.
- Identify sources of sounds and compare sounds made by everyday objects.
- Explore how sound travels and how sounds communicate information.
- Recognise and write Rr, count 26-30, and understand the symbol and value of number 6.
Key activities
- Listening to sound cards and drawing how selected sounds feel
- Identifying hidden or recorded sounds and naming their sources
- Experimenting with spoons, keys, boxes, pencils, coins, and water to make sounds
- Exploring sound movement with a balloon, string, and paper
- Matching communicative sounds with the information they signal
