Copy the table attached below (WALT investigate the properties of soil) to help you compare the samples.

Music – Make a soundscape. Using your voices or improvised instruments (eg saucepans or empty plastic bottles with seeds inside) make the sounds of the landscape at the beginning of ‘The Tin Forest’. ‘There was once a wide windswept place’ ….. and then you could try to make the sounds for the living forest, full of life at the end of the story.
