Singing
Singing is very good for us and in these times where we are not able to sing together Out of the Ark and Sing Maker have made their resources free so that you can join in.
Which songs do you like most?
Are there any songs you would like to have in our singing assemblies next year?
Have you found any songs other than the ones I've suggested which you really like?
You can also sing along to 'A Milliion Dreams' . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rxgAh1bnHU
Sing Maker have a 'Song of the Week' which they release every Monday. This week it is 'We are Family' . The song includes BSL signing so you can learn how to sign the song too. Many of the signs like (family, different and together) you will recognise.

Listen to and watch one piece of music each week. After you have listened to it think about how you might move if you were in the school hall or another space at home where you can stretch out. Move in time to the music - is it quick or slow? Is it music which makes you want to march, jump or tiptoe or do you want to move in a different way?
Which piece did you like best? Tell someone in your house why you liked it.
KS2
Please go onto the BBC website and choose a different piece of music to listen to each week. Follow the links to find out more about the composer, the time they lived and listen to the other piece of music that is suggested as a contrast
Think of how the music makes you feel.
Have you heard the music before? You might have listened to it at school, on it might have been used in a film or for an advert.
Which of the pieces do you like best? Think about why you like a particular piece or why you don't enjoy a piece.
Think of a special occasion and imagine that you have been asked to compose a piece of music for it; which instruments would you choose to use and why?
Let Miss Twaite know your top 3 choices with the reason you have chosen them by 1st of June and she will put together a LadypoolLockdown top 10.
Please email her at : g.twaite@ladypool.bham.sch.uk
