# Phonics - Instrumental Sounds

We have loved exploring the musical instruments this week. We have learnt their names and listened to the different sounds they make. We identified if the sounds were long or short and then experimented with making the sounds loud and quiet. It was so much fun! At the end of the session we always play 'Whats In The Box?' and we have to guess the instrument from listening to the sound.
