Vivaldi's four seasons

[Margaret Allen]

Linda Best has submitted another lovely flipchart called Vivaldi's four seasons. A very simple idea, but works sooo well.... You could annotate words/feelings as the music is playing.

What I saw done in a trauma unit for young children once was whilst the music was playing children were "taking a paintbrush" for a walk. This would be lovely for children to have a relaxing/calming time where they just drew on the board in the colours/thicknesses etc that they felt moved to by the music playing....

It is a bit big and so the forum can't cope but go here...

Thanks Linda...

What a great idea!
Another way you could use this is instead of just having the one picture for each season, you could have a number of inspirational pictures/images/photos for each. Set the page turn effect to Cross Fade and the time slider to about 2 secs, so the pages melt into each other - annotations coud be made over the pictures, and it could, be used for "Awe and Wonder" in RE.
I tried with the timer automatically turning the pages, but the page effect transition didn't work as I wanted, so if you want a gradua fade, it's best to turn manually.
I've had a play with the Spring section. It's about 5 Mb, but could post if people would find it helpful.
It's great to be inspired at this time of the term, so thanks to Linda! [clap]
