Activity 1

Activity 3
Rhythm challenge – do you remember our ta, te te and sh cards? I’m giving you a reminder in this video. Can you perform them with the music at the end of the video? Don’t clap in the sh! It’s quite fast so feel free to stop, rewind the video and have another go. Show your family, can they do the rhythm challenge?
-
Activity 4
Splat game – we were playing this in school on our instruments. This time you need 4 objects that make a noise when you tap them. Use a stick, pencil, pen or anything you’ve got as your drumstick. Ask if you can use pottery cups or glass jars/bottles. They make a satisfying sound but you need to be careful as they can break if you tap them too hard!

Activity 4
Splat game – Did you enjoy playing this game as much as I did making the video? This week, you need 4 cups or glass jars and some water. We are going to try changing the pitch of the sound.
