I've had the pleasure of teaching Music to Year R this half term.
We have been learning to sing the song 'Down in the jungle' adding actions to match the animals. We practised keeping the beat and then created our own small compositions (using animal images to make musical notation) with percussion instruments.
The children have learned the names of several instruments and enjoyed playing them to mimic different animal sounds.
The last 2 weeks, we linked the music to healthy fruit and vegetables. The children learned a song about eating their 5 a day, talked about their favourite fruit and vegetables. They mimed harvesting them, accompanied by a sound for each pluck of the fruit/vegetable.
Video of the singing to follow.
