This week in science year 4 investigated how pitch varies in instruments and what causes this. We used shakers, rubber band guitars and glockenspiels in our science lesson to help us. We discovered that longer thicker objects have a low pitch and thinner short objects have a high pitch.
Year 5 have enjoyed learning new notes on the glockenspiel. They were able to recall last weeks notes D and B and add in note A today.
Nursery have been enjoying playing some instruments this week and listening to their friends’ music.
Year 4 had their first recorder lesson this week led by the music hub.
We were very impressed with their grit and determination and listening skills.
Miss Peek was super excited to have new musical stave whiteboards arrive today!
Year 5 were able to learn how to write down the notes they had been learning through the Charanga scheme of work on glockenspiels.
This week, Year 4 practised playing along to a hoedown piece using boomwhackers. They worked hard on keeping in time as a group and reading the musical notation. Next week, the class is looking forward to starting a some Christmas carols.
Year 5 have enjoyed learning guitar this term. They were able to build on their learning from last year and learn new chords and perform different songs.
Some children were able to go to Norwich Cathedral today for a concert by some Norwich School scholars. The children enjoyed vocals and piano pieces by a range of composers. They particularly enjoyed looking around the cathedral before and after.
Some children went to Norwich Cathedral with Miss Peek and Mrs Forrest today for a musical art experience. They were able to listen to a range of instruments and watch as artwork was created alongside each piece.
Thank you to Norwich School for hosting us!
Year 3 have enjoyed using ‘Scratch’ as part of their computing unit.
Today, they were able to code different instruments to create their very own band.
Miss Peek enjoyed hearing and seeing lots of different performances!
