We have been exploring how sounds of different pitches can be made with various instruments as part of our science topic.
Summer 2022 – Form 6
Children exploring triad (3-note) chords on the keyboards, learning to play c, d, f and g major.
Spring 2022 – Choir Club
Choir have enjoyed singing Elton John’s classic ‘I’m Still Standing’! They even made their own Elton John inspired glasses!
Form 6 worked in partnership today as they used the keyboards, pianos and xylophone to figure out a piece of music and play its notation.
Some children were very keen to explore the bass clef after they had finished the treble clef!
Form 5 have been having lots of fun playing the recorder in a group!
They have been ‘learning to reach’ and showing heaps of resilience whilst building their knowledge of the recorder, notation, rhythm and time signatures.
Form 6 have been using the music editing program Audacity to add effects to the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. This involved splicing in segments of other songs, amplifying, changing tempo, distorting, fading in/out and using some of their own voice recordings in their work!
We had lots of fun listening to their finished tracks.
Here we have one of our very handy pupils opening up the miniature piano to show us how the sound mechanism works!
Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhaoibh!
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
On Tuesday 15th March, a few lucky leprechauns came to visit! They sang beautifully, played a game of ‘Pin the Hat on the Leprechaun’ and watched some Irish dancing.
Choir enjoyed using their kazoos to play along with the introduction of the song ‘Day Trip to Bangor’!
We had a fantastic time at our Singathon after school. The Choir sang beautifully for the whole hour and didn’t give up!
Thank you to all who came and listened and/or supported us and for your very generous donations.
