Composing 2022-2023

Music Implementation action plan

NPQ Action Plan

As part of the NPQ course, I made this action plan to show how to implement notation lessons in Years 5 and 6, as well as reach out to a secondary school for guidance on how to best prepare the children before leaving Little Green.

Year 5 and 6 notation lessons

In the Autumn term, Years 5 and 6 both introduced notation lessons looking at the musical stave.

I also completed an NPQ formative assessment task (see above) involving modelling to teachers in Y5 and Y6 how to teach these lessons, as this is new to lots of the teachers.

Here is also an example of lesson slides.

Music L3 Intent: Understand musical notes ranging from C to C on a musical stave.

Formative Assessment Task Cycle 2 - Exploration of the effective use of modelling in Music Notation lessons

Rickmansworth helping in Year 5!

Jenny Finch from Rickmansworth Secondary School has come to help Year 5 with three composing lessons, concentrating on different percussion instruments.

Year 6 Bandlab

Year 6 have had a half term of learning how to compose using bandlab.

This is a new program that we only trialled for a few lessons within Y5 and Y6 last year, thanks to Mr Tompkins visiting.

The children have been busy building texture through using melody, a bass line and a beat within 16 bars.

Year 3 recorders

It has been organised that recorder lessons in Year 3 will be rolled out within the first two weeks of Spring 2!
