Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe sounds that might be heard when travelling somewhere by train and a set of cards to create different sounds with long and short durations to match things that might be heard when travelling on a train journey.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore some of the different sounds that might be heard when travelling somewhere by train.

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.
