Underwater Carnival

Year 3Compositions

We have been listening to Carnival of the Animals

• We have been inspired to create our own musical carnival based on underwater creatures.

• We brainstormed the different animals and thought about their special characteristics

• This is what we have come up with so far....

Mrs Schneiders feedback

I am really impressed with the quality of work. I think it is brilliant how well the class worked together and shared their ideas. I think that all the sound clips match their creatures really well.

What do you think? Which is your favourite clip and why?
