Music

Just realised that I haven't posted about two of my favourite music making sites, so here you are:

Incredibox is a fantastic site that lets you layer beatboxing samples to create your own music. There are now three different versions, and you can record a composition which is saved onto the site, and you get a link to share it with others. Really worth a look - suitable for all ages.

Isle of Tune is a music sequencer, where you build a town and each house, tree, lampost etc creates a different sound when a car drives past. It's a great way to compose your own music or try to recreate a piece you already know.

Classical Masterpieces App

Classical Masterpieces is a free app with 20 pieces of classical music. Leigh-Anne recommended this, and suggested it might be agood idea for Big Writing lessons - would save you searching for music online or using the CD in the box - thanks Leigh-Anne!

Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Create a festive atmosphere

Yule Play is a website where you'll find a huge range of Christmas songs to sing along to, with hundreds to choose from arranged in a variety of categories, from old classics to current pop songs with a bit of punk too if it takes your fancy.

Sounds

This is an amazingly simple sound board, which you could have on your Smartboard for children to mix their own sounds for the classroom. This vould be for creating an atmosphere for storywriting, or just for creating a calm atmosphere! (P4 classes might enjoy the bird song this term).Click here.
