Year 3 have been listening to Peter and the Wolf by Sergei Prokofiev. We spent the afternoon using the Chromebook’s to research about his life.


Thank you to all the families who came to Carols around the tree and watched Year 3 and 4 perform some beautiful carols. As well as the choir, steel pans and Nathaniel’s piano performance.

Year 3 had the opportunity to experience an artsong music workshop from Leeds Lieder this afternoon. They learnt that Leider means artsong and understood how important music is in creating an image.
They discussed musical vocabulary pitch and dynamics.

They also practiced being conductors to change the dynamics of the piano as shown in the picture above.
Lastly, Year 3 worked together to create a song. Here it is!
6D had a live music performance from Izzy! (see below).
In Autumn 1, year 3 have been exploring pitch with chime bars. They have been listening to and appreciating music and noticing where the pitch gets higher and where the pitch gets lower. They have learnt how to hold a beater and use the chime bars. They have learnt to play along with the song ‘elevator’ and ‘once a man fell in a well’.
