- Prepare a tape recording of sounds that carry information, eg a bell indicating the end of playtime, a television theme tune indicating that a programme is about to start, a baby crying indicating it is hungry, a police car or ambulance siren. Ask the children to close their eyes, listen to the sounds and describe what the sounds are 'telling' them.
- Children should tape record an interview with an adult, perhaps to collect information to support their topic work. Prior to the interviews they should decide on the questions that they want to ask. Topics will vary, eg transport, houses, what it was like when they were children. The recordings can then be played to the whole class. Children should then use the information gathered for other activities.
