Singing in KS1 Spring Term 2023
In KS1 this Spring Term we have been looking at pulse and rhythm. The musical style has been pop music, which has a clear pulse making it easy to dance to. It often has a simple melody that is easy to sing along to.
We have used our voices, hands and untuned percussion instruments to make music.
Jessie in Year 2 said, "It's really fun when we get to stand up during our singing assemblies and do the moves to the singing. When we have music lessons in class, we take turns with the musical instruments. We have learnt about the rhythm. The pulse is the heart beat of the music."

Musical Interaction in KS1!
Dexter said, "I really like musical interaction on the bus, because it makes me feel happy. I like the hello song at the beginning and playing games at the end. We take it in turns to pass the beater around and when it's my turn I bang it light or heavy on the drum. My teacher will tell me which one."
Music on display around our school.
