Year 6 music
In music, year 6 looked at call and response and how it is commonly used within many songs. This was carried through into the class song and allowed the children to practise playing the song as an ensemble.
Year 2 - Music
Year 2 have been using a variety of musical instruments and techniques to create their own version of popular music. They have created many beats, loops and final pieces using many different musical instruments.
Reception: Outdoor Learning
Reception love outdoor learning. The children enjoy playing sports on the MUGA, making musical instruments out of natural materials, role playing, climbing and balancing.
Year 2 - Music
Year 2 have been exploring dynamics within music. They have been working on how they change within a song, what they sound like and if changed how does that make an impact to the feel and sound of the music.
Year 5 - Music Clarinets
The class are sounding great on their clarinets now. We started our lesson with a little game to help us learn about keeping in time with each other and then Mr Gardner taught the children how to play a new sea shanty.
Year 2 - Music
During year 2’s music lesson they have been focusing on chords in music. Children have opportunities to play many different chord patterns and express themselves creatively in their music session using instruments.

Year 2 - Junior Jam
The children have been learning and applying their music skills in order to create and understand musical pulses.
Reception: Rhyme Time
Reception have had a wonderful Easter rhyme time this week. Baby chicks visited our rhyme time. The children all held the chicks and they sang to them as well. The chicks also joined in with our Easter story time.
Year 5 - Junior Jam Music
Today was our last day using the drum pads. The children showed off their skills with a class play along to the song shot gun. The class have really enjoyed learning all about the drums and what genres of music they are often used in. We can’t wait until next term for our next topic when we will be continuing learning about percussion and playing the boom whackers.
Year 6- The Lion King in the West End
Our Year 6 class and other members of our performing arts club, will be performing their own version of the Lion King at the end of the year. What better way to get some inspiration and tips than to watch The Lion King in the West End at the Lyceum Theatre. All of the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed the performance and were fascinated by the imaginative set changes, amazing costumes and fabulous acting, dancing and singing. We are full of ideas and inspiration for our Lion along production now and can’t wait to perform it.
Reception- Junior Jam
Today Reception have been very lucky to have three different junior jam sessions today! In the first session, they looked at different songs and focused on how they make you feel. The children listened well to the songs and showed good understanding of the emotions the songs created. They then had a French session where they learned the french word for ‘hello’ and they also learned some numbers in French too! They also had a go at learning the song ‘Frere Jacques.’ They then had a Computing session, where they went onto the iPads, and played a coding game.
