Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to practise playing different rhythm patterns using long and short sounds and a set of cards to select and play rhythm patterns using long and short sounds to represent the movement of a train down the tracks.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore different ways of playing instruments to represent the sound of a train along a set of railway tracks.

This lesson is part of a music scheme of work to get the children to practise composing and playing different sounds and rhythm patterns to represent the movement of a train using long and short durations. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
