2W ~ Music and Technology Week 🎼 🎤 💻

Monday:

To kickstart our music project week, 2W learnt all about the West Indies. To do this, children accessed an interactive map, zoning in on areas to find out more! This was shared what they found, using Padlet.

We sang our favourite Continents song.

We learnt where the West Indies is located and looked at the continents nearby. This involved using previous knowledge of the equator. Children worked in groups to research key words linked to the West Indies, creating a word cloud.

As a class, we learnt to read and comprehend lyrics, understanding the seven elements of music. These are timbre, pitch, dynamics, texture, tempo, structure and duration.

They also learnt a new song called ‘Tingalayo’. We learnt the song using beats and claps 👏.

We created a moving picture. Looking at the background, we discussed the colours used. To end the day, we composed a rap. They performed their own raps over a drum beat using music lab chrome. 🎶

Wednesday
