This half term, we are going to have lots of fun with songs about animals. We are also going to listen to some new music, and have a think about how that music makes us feel.

You can complete these activities with an adult at home, or at school.

Keep an eye out for more information!]]> 2021-01-09 13:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1069695824 CalderdaleMusicTrustKS1 https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1069719793 We're going to play a game that uses lots of different voices, and helps us practise keeping the pulse. Can you try this game at home? I wonder what other voices you can come up with.... how about some animal ones?

It's the first movement (section) from 'The Carnival of the Animals' by the French composer, Camille Saint- Saens. 

The Lion is leading an exciting procession of all sorts of different and wonderful creatures.

Listen carefully- is this a lion cub playfully running along, or is it as regal adult lion? Is the lion in a hurry to get somewhere, or the he or she making sure everyone can see how beautiful they are? Do you think there is one lion, or are there lots? 

Can you draw the lion for me?  Maybe you could colour it in for me too? I'd LOVE to see your lions; maybe ask an adult to take a photograph, and send it to me at verity.quarmby@calderdalemusictrust.org.uk, and I'll pop some up here for other people to see!]]> 2021-01-09 14:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1069799950 CalderdaleMusicTrustKS1 https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1069863873 2021-01-09 15:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1069863873 CalderdaleMusicTrustKS1 https://padlet.com/calderdalemusictrustks1/Bookmarks/wish/1082659763 Today, we're doing to warm up with our see-saw song.

Just behind the lion in the procession are the Hens and Roosters.

Florence has some cat balls that she LOVES. they're all different colours, and they're glittery.

If you had to compose a piece of music about an elephant, what would your music be like? What sort of instrument would you choose to play it? Would it be big or small? 

Would the heartbeat of the music be fast, or slow? Why?

Would you have lots of instruments playing, or just one? Why?

What instruments are playing here? Can you name both?
