Welcome to Year 4

Hello Year 4, I hope you are all well, and enjoyed being bakers for the project last week. As explained on the blog and in my email, the way in which the work is set out this week is slightly different. I have included a pre-recorded explanation video for the project, as well as one for each maths group. Hopefully this will help assist you with your learning. I have also included the PowerPoints that I use in the explanations for you to download. It is clearly indicated below when you should watch these explanation videos.

Music/Singing Assemblies

Please see below message from our music teacher, Mrs Lawrence:

Hi everyone,

Here are a couple of songs for this week: ‘Into the Unknown’ and ‘High Hopes’. You may well be familiar with one or both of them, in their original versions! 

I would like to introduce you to them, as sung by Acapop, a professional kids’ pop choir. Their name comes from the words ‘a cappella’ an Italian music term which has come to mean ‘unaccompanied’ – music that is just sung, rather than played by instruments. (It’s original translation means sung ‘in the style of chapel or church music’.) All the percussive sounds and all the background harmonies in these tracks are made by voices alone. No instruments.

What different sounds can you make with your voices? Can any of you have a go at beat boxing? Can you pick out any of the harmonies in the songs? 

Here are the original Acapop videos, where you can see the children perform,  and the videos with lyrics:

Now that many of you are returning to school, I am looking forward to seeing a few more of you in the coming weeks, even though it will only be from a distance. 

Best wishes,

Mrs Lawrence
