Hello everyone,

Term One was all about keeping the beat and rhythm. The older classes drummed their way through last term outside in the playground under the trees making the most of the warmer weather while the younger classes sang, moved and played to the beat together in the hall.

This term our focus will be on playing songs where small groups of students play different parts at the same time or are taking turns with their part while playing various musical instruments.  We will use our voices, the xylophones, ukuleles and hand percussion instruments to do this while we learn some new songs and build on some old favourites.  All that keeping the beat work will help us all know when to play and when to count the rests.  Watch out for your child’s class sharing some of their music work later in the term through their class Seesaw accounts.

Mr Hay
