Musically, students are constantly touching upon all key musical elements and skills, building upon these as they progress through each lesson, unit and year. As well as this, there is also a Musical Spotlight to each unit. This by no means indicates that there is only one musical aspect or concept being considered and developed – it just allows one chosen musical element, aspect or skill to come to the fore for contemplation, discussion and development, for the duration of that unit.
Term 1: “Mama Mia a pop song by Abba
All the learning in this unit is focused around one song: “Mamma Mia”- a pop song by Abba
Term 2: Glockenspiel and KS2 Christmas performance
The learning is focused around exploring and developing playing skills through the glockenspiel.
Following the Charanga Musical School scheme of learning, these units are organised into 3 main parts:
- Listen and Appraise the songs.
- Musical Activities – learn and/or build on our knowledge and understanding about the interrelated dimensions of music.
- Perform the Song – perform and share our learning as we progress through the unit of work.
