This week, for our new music unit, Year 3 have been learning to sing in Mandarin.

We begun by harmonising with notes being played on the keyboard.

Once we had harmonised we learnt some words in Mandarin.

Once we knew these words we put them to the harmonies and added actions.

In our music lesson we also discovered lots of information about the Chinese culture. We were all very excited to find out lots about Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the rabbit. Lulu told us about how her and her family would be celebrating and the types of food they would be eating. We found out that lots of Chinese families eat dumplings as these are made together as a family.

We can’t wait for our next music lesson.
