Our new central idea for Year 3:

“Nature can inspire people to express their creativity.”

Check out these two videos:

1. How Nature Inspires Music – This short film explores how nature and a love of the outdoors influenced the composer in writing his music.

2. Music From Nature – This video shows how the composer created his music using things you can find from nature.

3. Graphic Symbols

How would you describe the sounds that you see in the pictures?

CRASH…………………..SPLAT…………………..???
