Hello everyone!
We had a great first week in the PYP; This is what we did:
Grade 4
The Grade 4s were reintroduced to the ukulele and were taught the proper technique for holding and strumming the ukulele as well as seeing examples of how different chords were played. Students played the C chord together and we hope to learn some more chords next week.
Grade 5
Grade 5s were very excited this week as they received their band instruments. Some things to remember for grade 5 students:
1. Students should practice at least once a week
2. Students only need to make sure that they have their instrument at school on the days that we have music (Days 1,3 and 5)
3. When we begin practicing together I will post the music notes on this blog for students to look at at home.
4. When instruments are at school they should be stored in the music room, not in their own classroom or locker. They will be allowed to drop off and collect their instrument at the beginning and end of the day.
Today the grade 5s learned how to put their instruments together and the technique of creating a sound and then experimented with making a noise with their instrument (It was very noisy!)
Grade 6
Some grade 6s also received their instrument this week and we hope to have all the other grade 6s in possession of their instruments and practicing together next week.
Have a great weekend everyone!
