Autumn Term

We will be learning alot of different songs this term in class. We will also be focusing on keeping a beat with clapping and simple percussion instruments.

Here are some lessons all exploring different modes of transport, with songs and music.

Sailing on a boat It's time to jump on board and come sailing with us! We will be singing a song in French, with movement to mirror the rocking of a boat and making up some rhythmic rhymes in "Ally Ally O".

Getting on a train (Part 2) The Great Indian railway Adventure continues into the night. This week we will continue working on rhythm and beat through the rhymes we learned last lesson and we will also sing a Tamil Lullaby from Sri Lanka.

Getting on a train (Part 1) Toot-Toot! All aboard the Great Indian Railway Journey. This week we will learn a new rhyme about trains and a fun counting-out game that children in India like to play.

Walking on my street Our first adventure of this unit will take us on a journey around our neighbourhood. We will be using singing games to explore beat, note duration and rhyme. In this lesson, we will take part in our first imaginative listening activity. We will listen to a piece of music called "Promenade: Walking the Dog" by George Gershwin.

Sitting on the bus Beep-Beep! Time to get on board the big red bus. Our bus journey will take us on a musical adventure through the streets of London. We will use singing games to explore note duration and improvise rhythms with a rapping bus driver. This lesson's imaginative listening will take us on a bus tour through the Queen's neighbourhood, as we listen to Eric Coates' "Knightsbridge Suite".
