In Music, as part of our World Book Day activities, we learned a song all about the Gruffalo, the lovable character created by Julia Donaldson. We learned the words and the melody first and then added some actions to help us.
Below are slides of each of the four verses and also a little video clip of the class performing.
We recently learned a song all about fireworks and Bonfire Night. After we had learned the words and the melody, we also learned how to follow a graphic score. This showed us pictures of percussion instruments to play and when to play them. We worked in small groups to play our instruments and then we had the chance to move round different music stations. In the video you can hear us singing the song and playing four different pieces of percussion – boomwhackers, tambourines, maracas and claves.
