Marvellous Maths....

29th Feb 2024

This week, Fir Class have been enjoying 'Life in all its Fullness' with a marvellous music session. Over the last half term, we have been learning some very technical language such as 'pitch' (whether a sound is high or low), 'dynamics' (whether a sound is loud or quiet) and 'timbre' (the quality of a sound). We have also been identifying 'tuned and untuned' instruments and using them to investigate making our own music.

Our final musical composition was to create the sound of the ocean using a selection of instruments. We listened to some ocean sounds and then tried to recreate a musical version of the sounds. After exploring a variety of instruments, we decided that the untuned instruments were the best for making the sound of the waves crashing. 

Please enjoy some photos of us enjoying our music lesson. 

Also a huge thank you to the parents who attended our writing workshop, the children loved exploring a range of fine motor activities in order to strengthen our fingers.
