Last week we learned how to play LOUD and SOFT beats.

TASK 1
*On your computer or I Player, log into CBeebies MELODY EPISODE 22 ‘BALLOON RIDE’ . It tells the wonderful musical story of the hot air balloon’s adventure across the sky.
*Play the video and listen to the story and the music.
* Go back to the beginning of the video and this time close your eyes as you listen to the music and imagine you are in the balloon with Melody.
*Did you enjoy the music?
*How did it make you feel?
TASK 2
*Draw a picture of a hot air balloon. Remember, they are usually brightly coloured and some have pretty patterns on them. Remember to post your drawings as I would like to see them.
Enjoy listening to the music!

MUSIC ( J.S.Bach week)
‘AIR BALLOON’
What you need : computer or I Player, pen or pencil, paper
Last week, you were MAKING your own music and being composers. This week you are going to LISTEN to music.
