MUSIC - Introductory Lesson

 This half term, Year 6 will be looking at how music is used in films. There hook for this is Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death. To inspire them we were able to watch the short film during their lesson. From this, over the next few weeks, they will look at a couple of specific scenes and learn the vocabulary used such as hit/sync, mickey-mousing and underscore. They will then begin to work in small groups to compose and create their own soundscape for a section of the movie. 

They are all very excited!

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2. Then, they compared four different types of maps about South America: relief maps, political maps, tectonic plate maps and language maps.  Finally, the children used their knowledge of longitude and latitude as well as understanding that there is 15 degrees between each line of latitude on a map. Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
