Susi popped back this afternoon to complete her input with the class &#8211; and what a lovely time we had out in the sunshine making music!<\/p>\n<p>We started by humming along to familiar tunes &#8211; pupils suggested sounds we could make such as meowing, barking, howling rather than saying &#8216;la&#8217; all the time\u00a0&#8211; we had quite the menagerie!!\u00a0 We then kept the beat to a different tune by tapping, clapping and jiving! Pupils started to compose a class song on Wednesday all about the things they saw at the beach last week, so we had a practise of our song, standing like a professional choir on the outdoor steps!<\/p>\n<p>Next, we got the instruments out &#8211; this was the bit we had all been waiting for!! We practised playing our instruments at different speeds and volumes &#8211; we definitely needed our listening ears on for this one given the noise level!<\/p>\n<p>After that, we split into 2 groups &#8211; 1 group explored the instruments and looked and which instrument would be best to match a given word\/phrase, e.g. the clip-clop of horses hooves, the shimmering of the waves. The other group worked with Mrs McHarg to decide on actions\/movements for given words &#8211; we pretended we were limpets on the shore and used our arms to wave like seaweed. We were then given a song and we had to choose instruments and actions to match the words &#8211; and then performed it to the class.<\/p>\n<p>After one final version of our class song which was recorded, we thanked Susi for a fabulous afternoon of music outdoors!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7071 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/portpatrickprimary\/?attachment_id=7072'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/portpatrickprimary\/uploads\/sites\/4131\/2020\/10\/02155123\/IMG_2050.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-7072\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-7072'>\n\t\t\t\tHumming along to the tunes!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/portpatrickprimary\/?attachment_id=7074'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/portpatrickprimary\/uploads\/sites\/4131\/2020\/10\/02155358\/IMG_2052.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-7074\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-7074'>\n\t\t\t\tClapping and tapping in time to the music\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/portpatrickprimary\/?attachment_id=7075'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/portpatrickprimary\/uploads\/sites\/4131\/2020\/10\/02155616\/IMG_2053.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-7075\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-7075'>\n\t\t\t\tThinking about actions for given words\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/portpatrickprimary\/?attachment_id=7077'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/portpatrickprimary\/uploads\/sites\/4131\/2020\/10\/02155920\/IMG_2056.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-7077\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-7077'>\n\t\t\t\tMax ready to play the tambourine!\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-7071 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/portpatrickprimary\/?attachment_id=7091'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"113\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/dg\/public\/portpatrickprimary\/uploads\/sites\/4131\/2020\/10\/05082451\/IMG_2054-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-7091\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-7091'>\n\t\t\t\tGetting ready to perform our class song\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>P1-4 pupils had a wonderful session with Susi Briggs on Wednesday afternoon, as part of the Rhins Coastal Path project.
