This week we enjoyed our first music lesson for Term 2! We were investigating high sounds and low sounds by moving, singing and playing instruments.  At the end of our lesson we sang the song below.  Maybe you could sing along at home?

Year 3 - Instruments of the Orchestra

This week Year 3 began their inquiry unit on orchestras. We began by doing the thinking routine 'See, Think, Wonder' about this picture:

We came up with lots of questions to be answered throughout the term... How many instruments are there? Why are there so many violins? Who is the man at the front? Where do orchestras perform?...and many more.

We investigated some orchestral instruments and even had a go of the timpani!

Year 5 - Dance

Today Year 5 began their dance inquiry unit for Term 2.  We watched a variety of recorded dance performances and discussed what they might be communicating.  We then used body shapes to represent a variety of emotions.  We used the element of space to explore these shapes and string a series of shapes together. Great work Year 5!

Here are two examples of our work:
