Music with Gordon 20 May: Magical Musical Circle

 Make a Magical Musical Circle

Connie and Gordon often use a giant scrunchie or Magical Musical Circle in lessons for both Primary and Secondary lessons. They help to move to the music and feel the rhythm together. 

These are stretchy and you probably won’t have one at home. But you can make your own one very simply by tying a knot in a scarf. It’s best if you have permission and if it isn’t a special one, in case it stretches out of shape. You can use with a partner or own your own. Maybe it’s possible to make a bigger one by using more scarves tied together. Try it and see if you like.

Some classes like to sing Sally Go Round the Sun, so in this video Gordon shows that song as well. Remember, you can use the Magical Musical Circle in lots of ways. Have fun!

Music with Connie

Let’s begin with our welcome song.

This week we are learning Achieving Ant man, ready for Singalong and Assembly with Tracey on Friday.


Here are some singing games.  You may remember one or two.  You can use a scarf and your favourite teddy to help you keep a steady beat.

 

Let’s sing.

Relax to this lovely music.

P.E. – 20th May

Good Morning,

We all hope you enjoyed Sports Day last week and hope you enjoyed meeting some new Friends.

 

 

Mira and So in particular wanted to say a big thank you for taking part and also …

Today we are going to continue with some activities from Mia & So.

 

Activity 1 – Warm Up Challenge
Mira and So would like you to imagine you are an Olympic Volleyball Player in this challenge. You don’t need any equipment, just a space to sit or lay on the floor and your voice or imagination. See link – Play Without Equipment – Challenge

 

Activity 2 -Jingle Jar
For this activity you need a small jar or tub and some dried peas, rice, lentils or pasta, or anything else that will rattle to make a noise. In this game Mira & So want you to use one of your super-senses. Preferably through touch or sound but you can decide. You will also need a blind fold for one of the players. If you find it too difficult don’t worry, you can ask if you can peek a little. See link – Listen Up or feel the vibration

Note:
You might have to change this game slightly but don’t worry be flexible. As long as you can shake the tub with the rattle for 10 seconds then that counts too. Can you do that 3 times each? or Lay on the floor with your eyes covered and guess what side the noise of vibration is coming from, maybe even guess what part of your body it rolled into.

 

Activity 3 – Become the Teacher
Mira & So think its a good idea for you to now become the PE teacher. They would like you to create your own active game. Have a look around the house and decide what equipment is safe to use. Will you play indoors or outdoors. Its up to you.
Here are some ideas to help –  Be the Teacher – Active Indoors Challenge

 

Well done today, you have been very creative!

Please remember there are lots of PE & Movement activities here on this blog and you can repeat any of these if you wish. Repetition is good. Todays lesson if just some newer challenges. Just do what you can.
