Olympic obstacle with our Buddies

As part of Health week, the pupil council asked for an Olympic inspired obstacle course.  Our obstacle course developed agility, stamina, coordination, balance and many more skills athletes need to participate at a high standard.  Our buddies came along and did it with us.  They had already done it in their PE time, so could keep us right.

 

Hot Cross Buns – steady beat & boomwhackers

We have been learning a song about Hot Cross Buns. We practised keeping a steady beat and we suggested lots of different ways we could keep the beat like tapping our heads or shoulders, or clicking our fingers in time.

We have also learned  about Boomwhackers and how they are used to create different sounds of different pitches. We worked out that the longer the boomwhacker, the lower the pitch of the note and the smaller the boomwhacker, the higher the pitch of the note.

In the clip below, you can see the class performing the song ‘Hot Cross Buns’ using boomwhackers.
