This term, Birch class have had the wonderful opportunity to learn to play a new instrument - the recorder. They have worked hard, learning how to make a nice sound with the instrument, begin to read written music to work out where their fingers should go and play different notes. Here is our best song - Hot Cross Buns.
This term, Elm class have had the wonderful opportunity to learn to play a new instrument - the ocarina.

Year 2 have really enjoyed singing this minibeast song! After learning to sing it, we chose instruments which we thought matched the movement or sound of each insect in the song. We had to be ready to play our instrument out when our minibeast was mentioned in the song and sing at the same time! Great multitasking Year 2!

We had fun writing this class song together. We tried different ways of performing it, including a call and response style where we split into two groups and had to stick carefully to our part. Well done Year 2!

We listened to and discussed a piece of music called Earth by Hans Zimmer, our focus composer for the term. We then created our own class composition, based on this piece. Just like Zimmer, we used a mix of digital and live sounds, trying to show both the beautiful, serene moments of life, as well as the busy, chaotic moments!
