Orawa

The children had to imagine what they might meet on this river journey while listening to a piece of music. They then had to create chants of these using different rhythms before putting all of this together to form a short composition. 

This week, the children had to create a graphic score of their group composition and perform it following their score.

Creating a musical phone conversation in groups.

Musical Conversations

The children have been practicing clapping the rhythm to a simple chant and adding an appropriate response.

Come Dance With Me!

Last lesson, the children have been using their body to find the beat. They had to copy various movements but to try to do so in time with the beat of the music!

This week, the children listened to a piece of music called 'The Cat and the Mouse' performed on the piano. The children how to use their bodies to respond to the music like a pouncing cat or a scurrying mouse.

In music today, the children listening to the piece of music called 'Cat Duet'. The children thought this was vey funny, especially when they had a go at recreating it!

Today in music we explored how we could represent sounds through drawings. We all created our own versions and then we performed each one as a class. The children showed great rhythm amougst their musical beats. 

Imagination 19.05.22

As part of our imagination unit in music, children created some beautiful water coloured pictures based on how they music made them feel and what they imagined whilst the music was playing. This was their first exploration with water colours and a skill in which we are going to be developing within our art work. 

Children have been working really had in music with Mrs Bradley. They have been learning Chrisitmas songs and carols ready for our celebrations next week. Here is a little sneak peak!
