Composing
During our Remembrance topic, children listened to different music linked to the theme of evacuation, before working in small groups to compose their own music. They created repeated patterns with the different instruments they chose and combined them to create their composition. They thought carefully about the sounds they chose in order to create the moods and feelings they associated with evacuation.
Performing
For our Christmas performance, children learnt a number of Abba songs (which the children loved). They learnt how to control their voice when singing and how to sing in tune with expression.
