Urban Farm DB summary

This study investigated how listening-led, sound-based technologies support creative, cross-curricular, place-based learning in primary education. A classroom activity was conducted with three Year 6 classes at the University of Cambridge Primary School using the Listening Playground web app. The project generated student recordings, images, sound maps, and reflections, alongside teacher reflections and researcher observation, forming a listening-led practice where sound functioned as material for inquiry.
