Begin with your class sitting in a large circle. Pass a clap around the circle and then ask the children what next? Encourage them to suggest other body percussion or vocal sounds to pass around or perform altogether. Take any and all suggestions made, if they don\u2019t work you\u2019ll find out by trying them!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remind the class<\/strong> of the patterns from Anna Meredith\u2019s piece that you explored last week. If you have time, perform it again.<\/p>\n<p>Now, <strong>lead a simple name game<\/strong>; ask everyone to say their name with a gesture in turn around the circle. Encourage your children to say their names loudly and proudly!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Next, ask everyone to say just a part of their name with a gesture<\/strong> and go around the circle hearing these. Demonstrate first how to choose one part of the name (one syllable) and how that sound can be stretched out. For example, MELISSA might become \u2018sssssss-A\u2019<br \/>\nThis is an excellent opportunity to teach or remind your children about syllables!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lastly<\/strong>, ask your pupils to add a body percussion sound to their syllable and gesture. So they might end up with something like \u2013<br \/>\n\u2018ssssssssssssssssssssss &#8211; A\u2019<br \/>\nmove hand like a snake \u2013 <strong>clap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Go around the circle<\/strong> a few times hearing these until everyone has something and can perform it confidently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Split the class into small groups<\/strong>. Ask each group to join their ideas together to make a new pattern. The pattern must include \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least 1 syllable<\/li>\n<li>At least 1 gesture<\/li>\n<li>At least 1 body percussion sound<br \/>\n\u2026but the more of each of these elements, the better<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Bring the class back together<\/strong> and hear each group one by one. Give feedback and tweak the pieces making sure that everyone knows exactly what they are doing. Explain that they have made new musical \u2018motifs\u2019 (a motif is just a small musical idea).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finally, give out big paper and pens<\/strong> and ask each group to write down their motif. This could be as a list of events, a diagram or they could invent a symbol to describe it. However they do it, they must be able to remember it for next lesson.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional resources and a more detailed lesson plan can be found here on the BBC Ten Pieces website<\/em>;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/teach\/ten-pieces\/KS2-anna-meredith-connect-it\/zhyyb82\">https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/teach\/ten-pieces\/KS2-anna-meredith-connect-it\/zhyyb82<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experiences and Outcomes: I can sing and play music from a range of styles and cultures, showing skill and using performance directions and\/or musical notation.
