Language Skills (Secondary)

Good morning everyone,

As I posted yesterday, this is Film week!

Choose a film to watch and complete one of the following activities:

  • Tell an adult about the film – what happens? – Who is your favourite character and why?
  • Write a few sentences about the film – what happens? – Who is your favourite character and why?
  • Complete a film review – Film Review
  • Create your own film review.
  • Research different film reviews and look at the layout. Think about how the writer tries to persuade the reader about their views concerning the film e.g. word choice. Now, try and create your own film review.

Good luck!

Make Music with GarageBand dance loops

Leave a reply

iPad music appsGarageBand is a powerful music making app that comes free  for iPad or iPhone.

There are lots of areas to explore, from virtual instruments like guitar, keyboard, drums and orchestra.

This week I am going to show you how to make dance music using loops.

  • You can swap sounds in and out
  • You can layer your music to build it up.
  • There are lots of live effects possible (see the FX button)
  • Take turns with someone else adding in or changing the sounds one at a time.
  • As well as playing it live, you can record it and listen back later.
  • Use it as a soundtrack for a video.

Good for: This would be a good activity to create fun music to dance to or to create a party atmosphere and share with others.

 

 

Music with Connie

Hello everyone.
This is what I would like you to do today.
Sing along with our Welcome song.

In our singing game to day we are going to use a drum but if you have a pot or pan and a wooden spoon that will do just fine. The song is called Round and round the drum.

Now it’s time to sing our Achieving Ant man song so that it’s ready for Singalong on Thursday and Assembly with Tracey on Friday.

Can you remember the signs for peace,joy, hope, love and rest? We can use them in this next song.

It’s time to relax
