Good morning P2

Hope you have all enjoyed music week. Did anyone take part in the Samba challenge?  I hope you had fun.

Reminder- Virtual assembly today at 9.15am, come and join us if you have a sibling in P4-P7.

Today we are going to choose our favourite song and write a review about it.

Writing:

L.I: To write a musical review

Choose your favourite piece of music and write a review about it. Remember to write in clear, full sentences with capital letters and full stops. If you are being expressive include an exclamation mark!

Include:

-Artist name and title of song

-Why you like the piece (remember to use ‘because’ to explain why)

– What instruments you can hear

– How it makes you feel

– Would you recommend it to a friend?

– Some fun facts about your chosen band/artist

Here is my example:

My favourite song is ‘Can’t stop the feeling’ by Justin Timberlake.  I like this song because it reminds me of Sophie’s dance show, car journeys with Sophie and watching Trolls.  In the song, I can hear singing, drums, electronics and clapping.  I feel happy when I listen to this song and I can’t help dancing along to it.  If you like Justin Timberlake or if you like upbeat songs that you can dance to then I think you would enjoy this song.  The song is the official song for the movie Trolls, which I love watching with Sophie and Phoebe!  Did you know Justin Timberlake is the voice of the character Branch?

Problem solving:

L.I: to use mental strategies to solve a problem.

Good Morning Everyone!

Please see below for today’s tasks

Literacy – listening to, and reading, rhyming words

 You’re all working very hard and I’m sure you’re looking forward to making some Samba music this evening.

Listening/reading:

L.I: To recognise rhyming words

Listen to the traditional song, Katie Bairdie.  I’m sure you’ve heard it before.  Listen specifically for the rhyming words.  Can you discuss the rhyming words with someone at home?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKQwbV-hZHw

 Now read the lyrics for the song.  Can you read the rhyming words?  If you can, print out the example and circle the rhyming words. If, like me, you don’t have a printer at home, just write the matching rhyming words on paper or in your jotter. Katie Bairdie lyrics

Remember, rhyming words usually appear at the end of a line.  They aren’t always spelled the same but they sound the same.  Here is an example:

Who wants a friend like Snorty Bull

Who kicks and stamps and thinks he’s cool.

Who wants a friend like Snorty Bull

We don’t!

L.I: To show understanding of fractions.

In maths today, we are going to use our knowledge and understanding of ½ and ¼ to clap out musical notes.  Please also challenge yourself with a Fractions Challenge.  These are all called ‘Chilli Challenge’ and instead of Mild, Spicy, Hot they are called ‘Nice and Spicy’, ‘It’s getting hot’ and ‘Burning up’.

Musical Maths!

Have a lovely day Miss Swift

Good Morning Everyone!

Here are today’s activities

Reading/Writing:

L.I: To write expressively about a piece of music

Today in literacy, I would like you to listen to a piece of music then think, discuss and write about how this makes you feel.  This is called listen and respond. Listen to a song by the Scottish band, Runrig. 

Ideas:

Loch Lomond: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJ7f0HUk8OU

Going Home: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P91gCIzv40I

Now, consider how the piece of music makes you feel and the instruments you can hear within it. Does the piece of music remind you of anything? Do you the like the music? Pretend you are a teacher and read my examples.  Is one example better than the other?  Are they good enough to be a WAGOLL?  Did I forget a few things?

Example – Going Home:

No, it doesn’t remind me of anything

no, I don’t like the song. (I actually do like this song!)

I can hear singing and drums

the song makes me feel sad.

Example – Loch Lomond:

Yes, this song reminds me of trips to Loch Lomond with my family. (and my wedding)

Yes, I like this song because it is fast and slow.

I can hear bagpipes, singing and drums.

The song makes me feel upbeat and I want to jump about to it.

Share our answers about my examples with someone at home then write your own answers in your jotter, on paper or use this template:

Listen and respond template week 9

Make sure you write in full sentences with capital letters and full stops.  Remember to explain if you like it or not using ‘because’.  I’d love it if you could share your responses with me.
