We have started our music lessons with Mr. O and we have been looking at quarter and eighth beats. We kept the rhythm and beat going and stayed away form the naughty beat in our competition. We have some great skills at keeping time and listening for the different rhythms.
This half term our children have completed some amazing homework, showing a real commitment to their own learning. Well done year 4!
We have had a great time at our Halloween disco. We all looked scarily good too!
Take a look at some of the homework created this half term linked to ‘Lightning Speed’. Well done year 4.
We have been looking at Jingles and how we can keep the pulse of the music. We have loved learning about echo and call and repeat music and we are able to talk about the difference between them. We then added some instruments and actions to our songs to keep the beat and explain what the vocals were telling us.
This week in 4 Red we have been learning about the ‘tempo’ of music and how that can effect how music makes you feel. We explored this by creating some artwork inspired by music with different tempos The children have also composed some of their own pieces of music in the major key of C.
.
Today in 1 Red we had our first music lesson. We looked at various musical instruments and played each one to see what sound they each made. Today’s lesson was focused on pitch and tone where the children were given an instruction and they had to follow them using the instrument. We then sang some familiar songs and played the instruments. Great fun was had by all.
What a fabulous afternoon Reception had! Thank you to all the adults who came to support our stay and play! The children were so excited to show everyone around and it was lovely to see them proudly showing off! ❤️⭐️❤️
As part of our Learning Means The World Theme, ‘Powhatten People’, we found out that Pochahontas attended a masquerade ball and had to learn how to dance. This was very different from the customs she was used to in her tribe. We made our own masquerade masks and learned how to do a dance typical for that era.
A great week in Reception. We are using Rainbow Fish for our English jobs. There has been so much creativity and writing linked to this fabulous story! Reception showing off their talents as always ❤️
