In P2 this term, we are very lucky to have a fantastic music specialist visiting us every fortnight. His name is Mr Abella and he’s coming to teach us some of the basics of music in a fun way.

So far, we have had 2 visits. On the first visit, he told us all about The Beat and how it is a steady pulse that runs through music. We did lots of different activities where we kept beats of different speeds.

This week we learned about types of percussion instruments and the noise that they make. We had ‘boom’, ‘ting’, ‘shake’ and ‘tap’ noises. We were all put in a team and had to play Simon’s Said with our sound. It was lots of fun, we were all laughing and playing the game really well. In the end, the ‘ting’ team won.

Mr Abella complimented us on our amazing listening and self-control and he thought we’d learned really well again today.
