Digital Music Year 2 💻

-

Our new Computing topic is all about making music!

We listened to some of Gustav Holst's 'The Planets' and discussed how the music made us feel, and what instruments we could hear.

It was amazing to hear the opinions of the children; music is so personal, subjective and emotive. Responses included - calm, relaxed, victorious, energetic, peaceful, loud, sleepy and joyful.

The children noticed that each 'chapter' of music was different:

Mars - loud, strong, energetic

Venus - peaceful, quiet, chilled

This also got the children thinking about how the music was made and being played - a conductor directs the orchestra and there are different instruments being used to create different sounds and moods.

Year 2 then had a chance to explore 'Chrome Music Lab.' 



We will be working towards creating a piece of digital music after half term.

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
