P.1-2 have been singing some songs about the sea and we have been following the Sun, Sea and Song BBC Schools Radio programme where each week we learn a new song about the sea.
Here is a link to the songs: Primary Music KS1: Sun, sea and song! – BBC Teach –
As well as learning a song, each week we have also done some related musical activities and listened to a piece of music, and the P.1-2 children are getting so good at identifying orchestral instruments just by listening to the music and recognising the sounds of the various instruments!
Here are P.1 and 2 singing and clapping a rhythms for ‘A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea’;
This term in the Music Class, Primary 1 and 2 have been learning songs about the sea and have also been listening to pieces of orchestral music which are inspired by the sea. The pupils have been learning to identify the different instruments in the orchestra and have also shared ‘what the music makes them think of’ when listening to music. They have also being doing musical activities such as ‘Meeting the Musicians’, learning a couple of songs with sign language signs and practicing how to make a ‘musical storm’ in preparation for watching the Royal Scottish Orchestra on-line concert called ‘Tara the Tugboat’.
