Today Mrs Ibbotson played some of the songs from our WW2 play on the piano. We loved singing to them in our music lesson!

Magic Musician’s
Crew Godley had their first guitar lesson today and Brett was so impressed by our determination to improve our skills. He said we were naturals! We can’t wait for our lesson next week!
Music – We’ll Meet Again
As part of our history hook week, we’ve spent some time looking at the music of War time and the importance of this to boost morale. One of these songs was We’ll Meet Again by Vera Lynn. Then we used instruments to create a soundscape of sounds from the war.
Composing music to demonstrate events of WW2
Today we used the knowledge we have gained so far on The Blitz to begin to compose a composition of music using different instruments. We explored sound clips taken during WW2, including aircraft, the Blitz and air raid sirens. We thought about the pitch and tone, selecting instruments which best demonstrated the effects. We then looked at how we can show different beats and started to layer the different parts of our composition. We have begun to put our piece of music together, demonstrating how well we can work together as a crew to produce our final piece of music.
Music composition in MI
Today we used the knowledge we have gained so far on The Blitz to compose a composition of music with different instruments. We then looked at how we can show different beats and started to layer the different parts of our composition. We worked so well in mini crews, encouraging each other and ensuring everyone was involved. Then we all performed our composition to the whole crew 🙂 A great afternoon in MI 🙂
Boombox Fun
Miss Marsh has treated LKS2 to their own boombox which allows us to listen to music during our break times! We certainly made the most of the sunshine this morning when we danced and sang to some of our favourite songs! Shout out to Sharni-Mae for her beautiful karaoke skills!
Guitar celebrations in year 5
We were all so proud of our year 5 children as they showcased their incredible guitar skills to the rest of the school and to parents and carers. Thank you to everyone that joined us 🙂
African Dancing and Singing
Year 4 had the pleasure of working with the Zulus who have come in to teach the children African dancing and singing. We had lots of fun during these sessions and it was lovely to learn about another culture. We then had the opportunity to perform this for the rest of school and our parents who all got involved. This was definitely an experience we have enjoyed.
Guitars in MI
We love our weekly guitar lessons 🙂
