Incy Wincy Spider
Room 2 are learning Incy Wincy Spider. We sang the song with actions. We kept the beat using body percussion and then on the bass xylophone. We also added sound effects on the percussion instruments.
Apple Tree
Room 3 are learning to sing and keep the beat. We played the Apple tree game. If you get the apple on the word "out" you sit in the middle and keep the beat on an instrument.
Round the Room
The year 5's are learning to play one note songs. This will help them play notes on the C string and E string more confidently. Well done to those groups who shared their learning.

Last year before my accident we were working on Recorder Karate. This is where you work through music at your own pace. Check out what belt you got to. Remember you start at white, then yellow, followed by orange. Those already at orange belt will now be working towards green belt.
