This half-term our topic is: Music to our ears!

 

We will be exploring how sound travels as part of our science learning. At the bottom of this page you can find our knowledge organiser to read about the key areas we will focus on and find out what some of the new vocabulary means.

 

As part of our studies, we will be researching different types of music genres –listening to and appraising what we hear. 

We will be exploring a range of instruments and using what we discover to help us design and make our own percussion instruments.  We will celebrate all the sounds that we can hear!

 

The homework planner for this half-term can also be found below. 

We hope you enjoy your chosen project.
