Session Outline•Discuss our 5 senses and which part of our body we use to hear.
• Talk about how sounds can be different and how these changes may occur, e.g. loud & quiet, high & low pitch.
• Split the children into pairs and give each pair a Sound Safari Checklist.
• Walk around your outdoor learning environment (either as a group or in pairs) to listen carefully for different sounds. (Remind the children about safety in accordance with relevant RAs beforehand).
• Group back together and discuss which sounds they did/ didn’t hear on their checklist. Did anyone hear any additional sounds? Did anyone hear any sounds which they didn’t know what caused them?
