Performing Arts Update  

Here in the performing arts room, we are leaving all things drama behind and revisiting the magical world of music. For the rest of the year, our students will be discovering and exploring the many facets of music creation and inspiration.  

Foundation students will be exploring the music elements of beat, rhythm and pitch through singing, movement and hands-on musical activities. 

 

Year 1 and 2 students will be developing their understanding of tuned and untuned instruments, learning how different instruments create sound and how they are used in music. 

 

Years 3 and 4 students will be investigating song lyrics and musical genres while beginning to develop their own songwriting skills through creative and collaborative activities. 

 

Years 5 and 6 students will be undertaking music research projects, exploring different genres, analysing song lyrics, learning about music video creation and applying their knowledge through songwriting tasks. 

 

I look forward to sharing our students' creativity and musical growth throughout the rest of the term as they develop their skills, confidence and appreciation of music. 

 

Singing, dancing and signing off!
