An activity I've used with Year 3 children... Using the schools environment as a stimulus for producing a soundscape.
Take digital photos of around the school representing a variety of different aspects (natural, man-made etc). Look especially for patterns e.g. gates, bricks.
Enhance these using any photo software and print onto OHP slides in colour. Discuss with the children previous composition projects and suggest ways of producing a 'sound track' to the slides as in a film.
Present their music in assembly, find ways of recording their composition for the future.
