Motown music
Year 5 have been studying Motown music this half term and have been busy evaluating various different Motown songs, as well as what each track consists of; they are able to recognise the tempo, pitch and composition of the song ‘Dancing in the Street’ by Martha and the Vandellas.
Creative Composing
Upon reaching the end of our music topic, Kestrels had the opportunity to produce some wonderful songs that they composed on their glockenspiels. They have been studying ballads and I’m sure you’ll agree, we have a few budding musicians in our school! Enjoy!
Vocal Talents
Kestrels have been busy learning all the songs ready for their ‘Big Performance’ at Young Voices in January. The children are loving learning the dance routines and performing each Wednesday afternoon. I’m sure you’ll agree, they’re a talented bunch!
Own Compositions
Kestrels have had a fabulous time completing their Music topic this term. They practised some repetitions of crochets and quavers and then composed their own music and performed it within the classroom. It’s been lovely to see them being so creative, take a look at a very brief video showing the children’s talents.
Rock Music
Our topic this half term is Rock music. The children are absolutely loving the songs, especially Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. They have already listened and appraised the song and today, they learnt the lyrics and produced accompaniments on their glockenspiels. So talented year 5!
