Today Swan class listened to and compared two pieces of music from The Planets by Gustav Holst. They used a musical description word bank to describe how this music generated emotions, i.e. how it makes them feel.

Today we explored rhythms. We created patterns and use those patterns as rhythms. We then used untuned percussion instruments and computers to hear the different rhythm patterns that we created. We used the software Chrome Music lab to help us. We learnt to create a pattern using the shapes, and then press the play button to hear what our pattern sounds like. We then clicked on the right arrow, which allowed us to hear the rhythm pattern played with other instruments.

Today we created a musical pattern. We identified that music is a sequence of notes and explained how music can be played in different ways. We used the software Chrome Music lab to help us create a musical pattern .

In this lesson, we developed our understanding of music. We used Chrome Music Lab to create and refine musical patterns. We identified that music is a sequence of notes. We learnt we can change how quickly or slowly our music is played by using the ‘tempo’ tab.

In this lesson, we developed our understanding of different shot types and explained what sort of effect they have in a film scene. We were then given the chance to use the Ipads and test out the different shot types. Here is an example of us taking a POV shot and extreme long shot.
