Let's be really careful with our counting.

We could even count on our fingers to make sure we get all the way to 10.

Let's try it one more time.

Sit up nice and straight.

Take a big deep breath before you sing so I can really hear everyone's names.

♪ Higgety Tiggety Bumble Bee ♪ ♪ Won't you sing your name for me ♪ Much better.

Pretty sure I heard everyone's name that time.

Today you are going to be learning to use objects in different ways.

To use homemade instruments to make sounds.

To identity sounds by listening really carefully.

And to identify instruments by listening.

So I hope you've got your listening ears really plugged in.

In this lesson, you will need your body, your voice, a piece of paper, a saucepan and two spoons.

Pause the video now and go and get your piece of paper.

Ask a grownup to help you to get a saucepan and two spoons.

Once you have everything ready, you can press play.

How many sounds do you think you could make from one piece of paper? You can pause the video and have a little think.

You could shake the paper.

You could rub the paper together.

What if I tear the paper? Or scrunch the paper up.

Pause the video now and see how many sounds you can make with your paper instrument.

See how many you get and once you've done them all, you can press play.

How many sounds did you find with your piece of paper? Well done.

What about with my two spoons? What are they made of? That's right, they're made of metal.

So let's listen to that metallic sound when I tap them together.

I could rub them together.

What if I tap the other ends together? Is that a different sound from the bowls? My spoons have got some lines on.

I wonder if that will make a different sound.

How many different sounds can you find with just two spoons? Pause the video now to see how many different sounds you can make with your spoons.

Once you think you've found them all, you can press play.

We're going to watch a video now of somebody playing the spoons.

See how many different sounds you can see them making.

Did you notice how many different ways they were playing the spoons? They had them together like this and would tap them on their hand.

They were tapping them with their elbow.

And even on their knee.

You can have a go at playing the spoons and see what rhythms you can find.

The last thing we're going to be using to have a go at is a saucepan.

This is my saucepan.

Yours might be made of a different material, so it could make very different sounds.

But what sorts of sounds can I make with this saucepan? I can tap it.

I can use my fingers and drum on it.

The bottom is a slightly different material.

What happens if I try and tap that side? Or scrape it.

The handle is made of wood.

Does that make a different sound? What if I use one of my spoons as a beater? That's quite a loud sound.

How many sounds can you make? Pause the video to see how many different sounds you can make with your saucepan.

Once you think you've found them all, you can press play.

Well done for finding all of those different sounds.

Now we're going to try some really good listening.

And see if you can identify what sound I am playing.

Will it be my saucepan? Will it be my voice? Will it be my spoons? Or will it be my piece of paper? Have a really good listen.

What instrument can you hear? Was it my voice, the paper, my saucepan or my spoons? Point to the one you think is the answer.

Well done if you said the paper.

You were absolutely right.

What about the next one.

What do you think? What was my instrument made of? That might give you a clue.

Was it my voice? Was it the paper? Was it the saucepan? Or the spoons? Point to the answer you think it was.

Well done if you said the spoons.

It was.

That metal sound really gave it away.

What about the last one? The last one was a bit more tricky.

It had a few different sounds.

What do you think? Point to the answer you think it was.

My voice, the paper, the saucepan or the spoons.

Well done if you said the saucepan.

You were absolutely right.

It was the pan, and the wooden handle.

Now it's time to do some really good listening.

I'm going to play three different pieces of music.

And in each one, there is a different instrument playing this solo over an orchestra.

See if you can work out which instrument is playing the solo.

Is it a trumpet, a violin or a drum kit? Here is number one.

Did you work it out? It was a trumpet, of course.

What about number two? What could you hear? It was the drum kit.

Let's have a listen to the last one.

What was number three? Of course, it was the violin.

I hope you got them all.

Well done if you did.

Today you have learned to use objects in different ways.

You've learned to use homemade instrument to make all sorts of different sounds.

You've identified different sounds by listening really carefully.

And you've identified real instruments by listening as well.

What an amazing amount of learning you've done this week.

I'd really love to see some of your work that you've been doing.

If you'd like to share your work with us so that we can have a look at all your fantastic work this week, please ask a parent or career to share your work on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, tagging @OakNational and #Learnwithoak.

I'm really looking forward to seeing you again another time.

Bye bye.
