We spent all day talking with Fionuala on the webcam. She told us to record some sounds and create them in our circle time hut.

We sat down as our coats rustled against the wood. Firstly we recorded what we heard around us.

Then,we tried making the sounds. We blew as the wind and whistled like the trees.

We decided next to record the sounds within a 12 foot radius. That meant we had to make the sounds from our school grounds. Outside the caretaker was talking to somebody so we murmured pretending to talk. Some of us made rustling leaves sounds.

After that we made sounds outside school grounds. We made sounds like cars and cans being blown by the wind. Megan did really good sound effects. I liked doing the cars and lorries.

Lastly we went to the P1 play area. It was nearly lunch time. When the P1s went out for lunch, we listened to the noises they were making. They were loud and brilliant and they waved excitedly to us. So in our last recording we imitated the infants. We said things in squeaky voices and copied all quotes. I stamped my feet to repesent them running into the playground. Some kids said prayers and some squealed loudly.

We went back to Fionnuala and she listened to our recordings. I can’t wait for next week!
