Making Music

The children have been doing so much amazing learning in music I almost don't know where to begin to tell you about it. We have been learning to keep a beat, about the difference between beat and rhythm, what an ostinato is and about playing melodies using the pentatonic scale! Wow! Today we each took a line of the poem we have been learning and created a melody to go with the words using the notes in the pentatonic scale. It was pretty tricky but we found that if we listened carefully and worked together we could do it!

Clay Creatures

 

It has been a while since our last blog post! We have been so busy with our art, music and pe that we have not had any time. We made some wonderful clay dragons by rolling a piece of clay around a newspaper 'sausage' and then using what we had learnt about joining clay to add legs, tails, eyes and even wings. Mr Harvey is going to fire them for us in the school kiln this week, we can't wait for them to be finished!

Learning to Blog

This week one of our reading groups has been learning how to make a blog post, so that they can share news about Room 2 with you. They are very quick learners and have already completed their first test post below! We hope they will become our blog experts so that they can help all the Room 2 children learn to blog.
