Introduction
Children extend their knowledge of sounds through using ICT to change speech, instrumental and found sounds. They go on to explore possibilities of playing instruments in unconventional ways. This activity helps to develop children’s listening, composition and performance skills

What will the children learn?
Children develop skills in capturing and modifying sound using ICT. They learn to combine these expressively with sounds produced using voices and instruments

Jabberwocky! develops children's opportunities to extend their sound vocabulary through the discriminative use of ICT. This is achieved through the composition of a class soundscape based on Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense ballad. Children use ICT to capture, recall, change and combine sounds (see tuned-in article Incorporating ICT with Music).

The unit consolidates and extends QCA Unit 18: Journey into Space, reinforcing the creative use of ICT in changing, organising and controlling sounds. It also builds on children's previous experiences of composing soundscapes in the tuned-in unit Rocket Journey.
