Move and sing as a team, following the lyrics on the screen
Recognise minims, crotchets and quavers often by ear and reliably by sight
Perform rhythms accurately from notation and layer them to create a composition
Add appropriate sound effects to their performances using untuned percussion
Join in with the performances confidently, and reasonably in time and tune
Make suggestions for improving their performance
Key Knowledge
To know that:
The group of pitches in a song is called its 'key' and that a key decides whether a song sounds happy or sad.
Different notes have different durations, and crotchets are worth one whole beat.
‘Reading' music means using how the written note symbols look and their position to know what notes to play.
Written music tells you how long to play a note for.

In years R to 2, children have been learning to sing as part of a group and recognise different parts of a song. They have also looked at simple musical notation.
In Year 4, children will continue to sing and develop their voices in the unit entitled 'Changes in Pitch, Tempo and Dynamics'.
