Autumn 1 – On this Island: British Sounds and Sound
As musicians, we learned to sing a traditional British folk song and create a seaside soundscape using our voices, bodies and instruments. After singing the folk song 'Lavender's Blue', we consider what we might see and hear in the British countryside, and perform a countryside soundscape. After singing 'London Bridge is falling down', we try to recreate the sounds they might hear in the city, using a city image as inspiration. Working in groups, we choose a setting (seaside, countryside or city) for which to compose our piece of music. Finally, we combined our learning from the previous lessons to compose a piece of music that takes them on a journey through Britain, from the seaside to the countryside to the city.

Summer 1 – Myths and Legends
As Musicians, we have created rhythms and put them into an order, or structure, to tell the story of St George and the Dragon. We then listened to a piece of music about the legend of King Arthur and identify the structure of the piece. We have also identified different layers within a piece of music, based on the myth of Orpheus and Euridice, and then show these layers on a graphic score. Working in groups, we composed a piece of music with a given structure and create a written score for our piece. Finally, we rehearsed and performed their compositions from the previous lesson, learning to perform as a group and to follow our graphic scores accurately.
