Year 5 Music Learning at home
Welcome to the Summer Term!
Home learning
Watch the film "Mars" by Gustav Holst (BBC Ten Pieces) - CLICK HERE
Choose one of these activities to do (or do as many as you like!)
1. Compose your own Space Music with whatever you have at home or using Garageband, Music Maker Jam or BandLab if you have any of these on your devices (ask parents first). You could use Chrome Music Lab (click here) also. If you have an instrument at home you can play, why not try and write your music out using a musical stave (see below attached) or draw the shape of your music.
2. Get arty - draw, paint, create digital art or make models inspired by the music

Non Internet based task – create word patterns to do with what you already know about Brazil and the Rainforest and play them on home-made instruments. Get someone else to copy your patterns.
Then create a question and answer pattern. For example one person plays “What is the capital?” and the answer is “Braz-il-ia Yeah!”. You can use pots and pans or whatever an adult feels would be suitable. You could write these rhythms down if you like or turn them into melodies if you have your own instrument at home.
