How to make a Kazoo

This week in Room 9, we have been making musical instruments.

These are our instructions we wrote on how to make a kazoo.

You will need:
Paint
Pastels
A cardboard tube (not a toilet roll)
Baking Paper
Beads
A hot glue gun
Rubber bands

Instructions

1. Get a cardboard tube and get an adult to cut it. If you make them a different length they will make a different sound.

2. Paint it all one colour.

3. When it is dry, use pastels to draw a pattern.

4. Get an adult to hot glue the beads on.

5. Cut a square of baking paper, big enough to cover the bottom of your tube. Cover the bottom of the tube with the paper.

6. Put a rubber band around the bottom of the tube to hold the paper in place.

7. Your kazoo is finished. Hum away!

Making music

Today in Room 9 we have been learning about beat and rhythm. We have been playing the name game where we have to clap our name. We have also worked in groups and made up a rhythm using the names of people in our group. The rest of the class has had to guess the order.

Production!!!!

We have had our last night of production! Everyone did an amazing job! Some of the teachers got into the spirit of things and got dressed up into 60's costumes and joined in the festivities.
Thank you for all the support. We couldnt of done it without all the support of our parents.

Wednesday

This afternoon we are making a photostory wtih a buddy about Production. We need to add photos about production and put them in order. Then we can add writing and music.
We will put some up when they are done.

Production

Production is now well underway. We have now completed two shows and we are half way there. Last show was amazing!! All the children did such a fantastic job and looked wonderful in their costumes. A big thank you to all the parents who helped them get ready last night.
