- how words can describe sounds
|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- Talk about the different kinds of weather that make a sound, eg heavy downpour, thunder, howling wind. Find words to describe them and say them in a way that reflects their meaning, eg rumbling thunder in a low voice, howling wind in a howling voice. Also, explore words that describe how they might feel, eg cold, shivering.
|
|
- identify and use descriptive words to create sound pictures
|
|
Points to note |
- Develop expressive vocabulary by finding words that provide a strong stimulus for sounds. Onomatopoeic words can be helpful, eg drip, drop, pitter patter. Analyse the sound of each word in order to find out why they are effective, eg how the long 'oa' sound in 'moaning' can be made to sound like the wind, how the 'sh' in 'shiver' sounds cold.
