This week in music...

 In music class, we have been learning songs and poems related to fall and Halloween. Some of our favorites include; 'Autumn Leaves', 'Fly Little Bat', and 'Big Black Cats'. We also played musical games related to tempo (how fast or slow the beat can go).


The grade 4s have been learning songs for their virtual Remembrance Day assembly which will be shown to our classes on November 10th. 


We have also been learning about beat and rhythm and learning that music is made up of short sounds, longs sounds, and rests (quarter notes - ta, eighth notes - ti-ti, half notes- ta-a, etc.)  

The grade 3s and 4s have been learning how to read and understand musical symbols including note values, rests, dynamics (volume) and phrases through a piece of music called 'WHO'.

In music class, we have been learning various musical games involving body percussion (clapping, stomping, jumping, patting, etc.) and keeping a steady beat. 

We are exploring songs and poems related to Autumn. We also discussed things we are thankful for and learned the song "If You're Thankful and You Know It".

The grade 3 and 4 students have been learning about what a round is in music and that a repeating phrase or pattern in music is called an ostinato.
