🎨🎵 Science, music, and computing all in one lesson!

At Temple Sowerby C of E Primary School, our KS1 pupils joined Miss Yui for a hands-on STEAM adventure, exploring how technology can turn simple drawings into musical instruments.

Using graphite, pupils created their own instruments. Learning how to use their bodies to keep their favourite colours and notes on screen.

A huge thank you to Cumbria Music Hub for making this fun learning experience possible.

Special shoutout to Playtronica for creating technology that inspires children to explore sound in new and exciting ways!
