Primary Music

PRIMARY CURRICULUM

CLAIRE DODDS

The new year saw us all back to distance learning however, through the magic of Seesaw and Zoom, Music was still a prominent part of the Primary Curriculum.

Each week a variety of activities were shared; from learning about famous composers to new songs to sing, practical music-making with tin cans and homemade drums. Many children joined the whole year group zoom music sessions, where rhythm activities, singing and listening activities took place. Many siblings and parents joined in too. Now we are all back in school and enjoying some face to face music-making.

Year 6 have been learning about the Brazilian Samba, playing complex rhythm patterns on a variety of new instruments. Mrs Smith has taken the music-making outside where the pupils have enjoyed playing and performing together as a Samba band, filling the air with the sounds of the carnival.

Year 5 have also been learning about rhythm and beat and playing lots of musical games.

They have also been singing with Mr. Townley, singing rounds and partners songs, learning about harmony and performing together.
