Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to practise playing different word phrases using long and short durations to match train sounds and a set of cards to select and play word phrases to represent a train using sounds with long and short durations.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore different ways of playing instruments to create long and short sounds that can represent a station location.

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.
