Sounds Made With our VegetableIinstruments.

  
Great effort Zoe!




Well done Robert!

R5 Orchestra

In Room 5 we have  been learning about musical  instrumentsare, how they are played, the families they belong to and their historical and cultural importance. Each of us constructed  a musical instrument and tried to create "music" with it .Some of us were rather successful while others are still trying to make the sound they want.It was a lot of fun. 




                                 Can you identify the family  groups that make up an orchestra?
                                 Most of us completed making our instruments on time              ,
                                 The instuments were made from a variety of materials including vegetables.
                                 See if you can name some.

Robert Makes a Trumpet.



The instrument I made is a trumpet. It’s made from VEGETABLES.The kumara for bell, plastic tube is  covered with Christmas paper.The  broccoli  is connected with a trumpet mouth piece. It was easy to make because I was more successful the  second time I made it. It makes an annoying sound but I  am proud of what I’ve done .
