Module 1 

In Music we have been learning about Pulse, Pitch and Rhythm. We have enjoyed learning and singing different songs during our lessons. Can you remember the lyrics for any of the songs you have learnt?

Module 2

For music this module we have been focusing on rhythm, tone of voice and tempo. We have been doing this by practising our Christmas nativity all together. We have loved learning all of the different songs that we are going to perform to our adults. 

Module 3

This module we explored beat and rhythm work using crotchets and quavers. We began with on-the-spot actions, followed by stepping the durations. We were introduced to stick notation.

Module 4

This Module we have learnt  about  Beat, rhythm, repetition, structure, 20th century classical music.

We listened to Orawa and  imagined the journey of the river through Europe. We thought about the scenery and events it passes on its way. We then produce a piece of art based on the river’s journey. We then, borrowing ideas from the composer, invented new music using vocal chants and body percussion.

Module 5

This module we have enjoyed creating patterns of beats using out bodies bodies, swinging in time with a partner and marking the beat using simple body percussion patterns. We also moved freely and creatively to two pieces from Shostakovich’s Jazz suites, using flag we made.
