About this site Reason for this site I am Director of Music at Soham Village College, Cambridgeshire. I decided to create a music website in the summer after my first year of teaching, July-August 2000, to be used by teachers and pupils for several reasons. Finding good music resources and links on the web can be a troublesome task. My site allows you instant access to some worksheets I have created and used effectively. It also allows pupils to research extra information and revise class work without taking away valuable worksheets. Why Study Music? There is a long standing controversy behind the place of music in school education. Music was beginning to be seen as a valued subject that could contribute to the all round education that a child needs. "The educative value of music has often been overlooked in the past.

DIY: colorful discs for the light table in preschool I am not so lucky as my sweet friend Leeanne over at Kreative Resources who managed to find a free set of plexiglass discs to use on her light table. In fact, I don’t even have a light table! But after reading several ideas from others, I have managed to make my own discs and light table. This post is about the discs and my next one will be a little tutorial on the light table so stay tuned… These colorful discs are a spin off of a “not so nutty” idea for making a rainbow suncatcher shared by “Life in the Nuthouse“! The cups alone made for some fun play on a light table so I saved some and melted the rest. To melt the plastic cups, you first need to know that not all plastic clear cups are the same. I bought the red and blue cups (shown above) from Meijer and Garden Ridge and they melted fine. To melt the cups, you need to preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit first. I used a spatula to flatten the cups or shape them a bit while they were still in the oven.
Painting Nature I saw these wonderful Candied Gumballs on Casa Maria's Creative Learning Zone. Be sure to check out the both of the follow up posts, Gumball Sculptures Project 1 and Tie Dyed Gumballs, as well. We have so many gumballs around our area, that I knew we had to try this. Our playground is literally covered with them, and the kids spend hours collecting, counting, and playing with them in a multitude of ways. Most of our gumballs fall with pretty long stems attached, so we didn't use toothpicks, we just held on to the stem. With the first few balls, the kids were hesitant, and only painted portions of the balls. They looked pretty cool individually. After letting them dry for a few days, I added string and attached them to a nice branch to make a mobile to hang from the ceiling. ( For photographic purposes, I placed white paper behind it to show it better.)

Mini Rube Goldberg Machine Makes Cool Travel Companion Mini Rube Goldberg Machine Makes Cool Travel Companion Article by Steph, filed under Gadgets & Geekery in the Technology category. A man takes a seat on a park bench and opens a pair of suitcases, carefully adjusting a few things inside, placing a few small objects in just the right spot. Then an alarm clock sounds, a pencil comes down onto a trigger and the most entrancing sequence of events takes place, one after the other. As music starts playing, the choreographed movements begin, flinging objects from one of the suitcases to the other, making their own little sounds. Melvin the Magical Mixed Media Machine was a room-sized exhibit made for 2010 Dutch Design Week, and as cool as it was, it had one big limitation: it couldn’t be moved. In addition to the many Rube Goldberg machines that came before them, both Melvins were inspired by the cult 1987 art film ‘The Way Things Go’ by Peter Fischli and David Weiss.
