Music

This week in Primary 1-3 we have been singing our friendship song. We moved to the pulse of the music and copied the rhythm of the words. We then made friendship cards to give to others to say thank you for being our friends.

In Primary 4 we listened again to ‘Zadok the Priest’ and discussed the music, focussing on dynamics and tempo. Using their imagination, the children then went on to create a movie that reflected the music.

In Primary 5-7 we were learning about different genres in music. This week we focussed on Reggae music, considering the tempo and of the music and the style. We sang Three Little Birds and found the pulse of the music and copied the rhythms. We discussed the background of Reggae music and considered the main instruments we could hear. The children then designed their own ‘Peace’ signs.
