Concert in the Woods
In this unit, children read the on-line story The Concert in the Woods. They identify simple percussion instruments featured in the story. They explore a range of classroom instruments and everyday objects played through striking, shaking, scraping etc. Children create a simple 'graphic' or 'picture score' recording the order in which instruments and soundmakers are to be played. They follow this in their re-telling of the story. This might be extended by creating a story map to reflect the sequence of events in the narrative.
