This week in music year 2 have been looking at rhythms.

We began by appraising our new song ‘Listen’. We liked how the sound of this made us feel. It made us feel full of energy and wanting to join in. We could hear lots of instruments like drums and guitars. We could also hear people clapping rhythms and we could not wait to join in.

We practised our new song and had a go at copying the rhythm with our hands. We practised these in lots of different ways. We had a go as a table, individually, in partners, as boys and girls and also the back of the class and the front.

Some of the rhythms were pretty trick but we kept practising and got really good.

We even got to copy some rhythms with our voices, this was much harder as we had to think about the pace and the tone our voices made.
