Time to get creative!

For today’s topic task, start by clicking on the link below which is a virtual story about a smelly African elephant.

Then your activity today is to make an African instrument using materials in your house. It might be a drum, it could be a rain stick or even a shaker. Poor smellyphant wants this to cheer him up so that he can dance around playing an instrument now that he is clean…

Think outside the box. Use recycled materials, spare foods in the house (only if there is some), bead, small bricks, paper, paint etc. I have put some examples of homemade instruments below to give you some inspiration.

Once you’ve made it then test it to see if it work. As normal - take pictures or draw a picture of it in your home learning book. Can you write a list of all the materials you used?
