Learning about the pentatonic scale in music

Over the past few weeks in music, we have been learning the song, ‘I’ve been to Harlem”, thinking about the shape of the tune and using our voices to show this. We’ve spent time learning the lyrics and the tune, and today, we have moved on to creating an accompaniment using the pentatonic scale on the glockenspiel. We used the 5 notes – F, G, A, D and C – to create note clusters and we began practising playing along to the song.

Investigating parts of a computer

In Crew Robson today, we completed a scavenger hunt to solve the clues and investigate the different parts of a computer. We used our knowledge about the CPU, GPU, ROM, RAM and hard drive to solve the clues. We also used played a memory game to match the pairs of cards for the different parts of the computer!
