The Task - listening to and absorbing a variety of farm sights and sounds

By the end of the morning you will have absorbed the sounds and observed a variety of different movements on the farm, so you should be in a good position to devise a performance using music, dance and drama in order to show how your group perceives the countryside and farm environment.

At the plenary session you will work to create a performance about a working day on the farm. Use the diagram and the ideas it contains as 'props' while you are collecting sounds and observing farm activities.
