We have been exploring Makey Makey, a physical computing piece of hardware ( or invention kit!😊) and have been having lots of noisy fun.
Over the past few weeks, we have attempted to make music using these kits and a variety of objects including bananas, tomatoes and leaves. It has been lots of fun debugging our work to ensure musical success.
If music be the food of 6M, play on! Every Tuesday we enjoy an unbelievably creative and uplifting hour making beats, putting down grooves and sending out good vibes on Garage Band. Look out for us on iTunes!
We have been lucky enough to have lots of our parents and carers join us this week for our wonderful Christmas performances led by years 1&2, 3&4 and 5&6! Thank you to Miss Jones for helping us with our songs and readings, and for conducting the choir!
This morning, we had a Harvest assembly. Miss Jones led us in singing some Harvest songs and Paul from Salford Food Bank talked to us about the impact our donations have on those in need. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all our children and families for your food bank donations – your generosity is greatly appreciated!
Year 6T are LOVING our weekly music technology lessons with Jen! So far we have used Garage Band to create our own beats, explored the history of Hip-Hop music and created our own Hip-Hop mashups. We can’t wait for next week!
Well done to the 2 Year 4 classes who gave a great ukulele performance to children and families!
The Year 5 and 6 group were amazing too! We will be continuing our Ukulele Club in September for children in year 5 and 6. We meet every week on Wednesday mornings at 8:00am so keep an eye out for a message from Miss Jones in September.
Nursery have really enjoyed their Music with Miss Jones! Here they are enjoying their lessons!
They have learnt how to keep the pulse and play instruments in different ways (quietly, loudly, slowly and quickly!) They are brilliant at moving and tapping thier instruments in time to music and they enjoyed singing and playing with the lycra!
The Year 5 and 6 Ukulele club gave a fantastic perfromance to some of the residents at Tarnside House Sheltered Accommodation. Well done everyone! Great playing and singing!
Here we are putting our ukulele skills to the test by playing an absolute classic! Listen closely and you might hear our drum beat in the background. We use ‘Drumbit’, a free app that helps us to keep time and keep rocking! Well done everyone!
The Year 4 classes performed their own fantastic Christmas compositions. We were treated to a World Premiere of 2 very catchy Christmassy numbers!
Our amazing Ukulele Club of children from Year 5 and 6 also performed 3 well known Christmas songs: Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Last Christmas to a packed very enthusuastic audience!
