This week in Music…

I was extremely proud of the Toffee Bear Choir as they sang the children into school on Thursday morning as part of Wellbeing Week. The children are gaining lots of experience singing in different situations and learning about how the different environments affect their sound and ability to use dynamics. Well done to Cemre who sang the solo in ‘Fix You’ so beautifully.

Inspired by Mrs Simon’s wonderful rap of ‘The Grimsdell Way’ we have been learning the rap in lessons. The children created their own beat-box accompaniment using the drums and tambourines.

We have been singing ‘Jambo’, a Swahili greeting song. The children used the song to greet each member of their class whilst singing with movement and clapping in concentric circles. We experimented with changing the tempo and dynamics each time which was led by some of the children using the appropriate “off we go”.
