Our Music Intent

We aim to deliver a high-quality Music curriculum which provides foundations for Music. Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to the best in the musical canon.

Here are our Key Vocabulary Progression Pyramids for Music

Pupil Voice:

                     What have you been learning in music? What music do you like to listen to?

Nursery:

"We sing nursery rhymes. And, sea songs, little fishes."

"12345 once I caught a fish alive."

"We do dancing to music. I like music."

"Tambourines."

Reception:

"Big Red Combine Harvester, Pumpkin Head. I liked them all. And gathering lots of pears. We can do the actions."

"Big Red Combine Harvester."

"I like 'Hey I Just Met You'."

"I think I like some calm music, like this." (music in the corridor)

Year 2:

"We do music with Mr Warnock. We do Harvest Praise. He gets us to listen to what we think in our heads."

"Hand and my feet and my heart song."

"We've been doing lots of singing."

"Other music from other languages."

In Autumn Term 1 the whole school enjoyed watching a live music performance from the 'Wakefield Music Service Band'. The children learnt all about the different instruments and listened to some great music. What a fantastic opportunity, we really enjoyed it!

Autumn term 2 in key stage one is 'Shake Rattle and Roll'. Here are some lovely pictures of the children's work displayed in classrooms.

Here is our knowledge organiser for KS1 Music this term.

The foundation stage have really enjoyed listening to the genre of the half term Jazz. They have taken part in squiggle whilst you wiggle sessions, dough disco, charanga music lessons and explored musical instruments, songs and voice sounds. Here are some picture of them taking part in these musical activities.
