Weeks 1 & 2 Activities - Mrs Charles is now a YouTuber!
-
Activity 1
Boogaloo – you enjoyed this so much in school I thought you might like to show your family.
-
Activity 2
Dip, dip, dip – an action song that I’m teaching this week. I’ll then show you a harder version next week!
-
Activity 3
Rhythm challenge – do you remember our ta, te te and sh cards? I’m giving you a reminder in this video. Can you perform them with the music at the end of the video? Don’t clap in the sh! It’s quite fast so feel free to stop, rewind the video and have another go. Show your family, can they do the rhythm challenge?
-
Activity 4
Splat game – we were playing this in school on our instruments. This time you need 4 objects that make a noise when you tap them. Use a stick, pencil, pen or anything you’ve got as your drumstick. Ask if you can use pottery cups or glass jars/bottles. They make a satisfying sound but you need to be careful as they can break if you tap them too hard!
MUSIC Week 3 Activities

-
Activity 4
Splat game – Did you enjoy playing this game as much as I did making the video? This week, you need 4 cups or glass jars and some water. We are going to try changing the pitch of the sound. Ask first and be careful. They make a satisfying sound but they can break if you tap them too hard! Don’t fill the objects up too full and keep the water away from electric devices.
