This term we have been continuing to develop our knowledge and understanding of pulse, rhythm and pitch through rhymes, action games and singing games. In the video you can see our performance of a rhyme called ‘Engine, Engine Number 9’.  We kept the pulse of the rhyme using our hands and arms to be the train wheels moving along the track, and look out for how we show the rhythm of last line of the rhyme.

We were so luck today! It was such a beautiful frosty morning we went to the beach to look at all the shaded frosty patches and the low mist. When we were there a pod of Orca came into the bay. Although it was very bright, we could see the sun glinting of their back as they surfaced and their huge water spouts in the air.

We were treated to a performance by the Shetland Youth Orchestra last week in the Sound Hall. The orchestra is made up of children from all over Shetland including both primary and secondary, and their musical talents are amazing!

We were introduced to all the different instrument families including brass, woodwind, strings and percussion. We listened to a mixture of music including classical, swing and even a theme tune or too. We particularly liked the Wallace and Grommit theme tune which they played as we were leaving the hall.

What a very enjoyable way to spend a Friday afternoon!

P2B have been writing  their names and exploring using colours.
