Music

We have started our Rhythms topic in music. We will be working on various rhythms with an aim that we can identify them on written music notation, tapping the rhythms and singing them.

Storytelling

Over the next few weeks we are working on our story telling skills through literacy and drama. I will be encouraging everyone to take turns to tell stories, improvised and planned. Everyone will also be involved in telling the story as an actor, following the story.

Everyone loved the first week of storytelling.

Clay sculptures

We used clay to make bowls/candle holders and something of our own design. We enjoyed moulding the clay although did find it challenging, our original aim was to make daffodils to celebrate St. David’s day (1st March).

The clay sculptures are still drying , as they are drying pupils have discovered that they have become quite fragile. As a result we’ll need to get the glue out before we wait them. 

Music

Our final music listening session. The children have responded very well to this music based upon Tam O Shanter. They were able to recognise ascending and descending notes, glissando and various instruments.
