Term 2 Music

We are learning to ...

- play the chime bars to go up and down the scale 

- explore the differences between high and low sounds and soft and loud sounds 

- sing songs in time with the music. 

We know when we have done this when...

• we can play up the scale, and down the scale in time to the song
• we can keep in time with the music
• we can say whether the sounds are high or low
• we can play loudly or softly
• we can sing in time with the music

A Place that is important to me.

Art Attack - Term 2

My drawing of still life at the workshop by Mr Shaskey.

We are learning to ...

• plan a drawing using the elements of line, tone, texture, colour, form, shape, and space
• use the techniques of sketching, using the correct brush strokes, colour mixing, texturing, and applying a black border.
• communicate and interpret my idea of a kowhaiwhai pattern.

Student comment:

It was hard to do the outlining for the river in paint but I am happy with it because I like the colours.
