Dear all,
I hope your holidays were wonderful! Term 4 gets busier and busier and the students have lots to look forward to. Students have been amazing and I am looking forward to teaching some more skills and seeing some amazing performance.
Foundation.
I will be taking Foundation students around the world this term as they listen and play world Music. Students have learnt some information about African drumming and djembes as well as learning a famous South African and Ghanaian songs. Their Geography skills and knowledge has already astounded me.
Years 1&2
Years 1 and 2 have started playing the recorder and are doing a fantastic job of reading Music. They are doing recorder karate and each week will change belt colour by the end doing some of their own composition!
Years 3&4
In Music students are looking at various pop songs and learning how to play chords on the keyboards, as well as experimenting with other pop elements, playing riffs and singing.
Year 5 & 6
Students have just done some choreography and thought about the importance of gestures in Drama and Dance and how this adds narrative. See below! In Music, students will researched pop performance and learn the basic elements of a pop song; how chords are used on different instruments and how riffs are used to make a song memorable to an audience. Students will apply this knowledge practically and will keyboards, guitar, ukulele and drums.
