What’s Been Happening In Music
Year 2s:
You should hear us play the ukulele!!! We have learned the chords and strum patterns for a number of musical pieces. Our favourite is the song Riptide.
After watching Folk Dances from other countries, we are having fun learning the steps of the Heel and Toe Polka.
This week we will start to write our own Rap Songs.
Year 1s:
Now we know all about the different instruments in an orchestra and what the role of a conductor is. We have even learned how to move our hands to make the music louder or softer and faster or slower.
You would love listening to us sing the songs we wrote, especially when we use microphones to perform.
This week we are starting to create a sound story.
Foundation:
We are so good at using Boomwhackers to play different songs. Our trickiest one so far is Old Macdonald.
We can play If You’re Happy and You Know It on xylophones and metallophones.
When we play the Djembes, we use alternate hands and are great at keeping together.
This week we are learning some aboriginal dances about Australian native animals.
