Pre-primary
In Music this term the Pre-Primary class has been learning how to keep a beat using different instruments like tambourines, shakers and triangles. They have also been learning about tempo and have been dancing and singing songs fast and slow like The Old Grey Cat. We have loved learning some new folk dances such as the Pony Gallop and the Noble Duke of York. Mrs Dolton and Mrs Jefferys are usually very worn out at the end of our sessions!
Year One
The Year One class have been learning about pitch and have been using their singing voices and xylophones to practice high and low! We have had a go at drawing pitch maps using lines and singing special high and low songs.
Year Two
The Year Two class have been learning to play the Xylophones and the notes C and D. They use these notes to play familiar rhythm patterns and have been so quick to learn. They have created their own compositions and performed them to the class like little rock stars!
Year Three
The Year 3 class have been learning the Musical alphabet and have been using the Xylophones to play words using the notes. They learned to play their names using the notes and are now having a go at playing lots of different three and four letter words on the Xylophone.
Year Four and Five
The Year 4/5 class have been learning about Blues music. They have learned to play the Bo-Diddley beat on the Xylophone and to play some chords. We are now moving on to Celtic music and I have already heard some excellent verses the children have created to go with our galloping rhythms.
Year Five and Six
The 5/6 class have been learning about Rap. They have studied the way Rap is performed and how the lyrics can be written. They have also been learning about beat boxing and dance moves that go with Rap!
