Rm 3  Adventure on the Island of ‘Scrape It’

 

After the Pirate children escaped from their sinking ship they were whooshed in a fast ocean current towards the island of ‘Scrape It’. Along the way they had to
scrape off swarms of harmless jelly fish in the water.

They were swept into a sea cave where Magical Mary-Elle the mermaid was making twinkly sounds with her Mermaid Keys.

 Magical Mary-Elle promised to help the pirate children survive if they would complete a musical challenge.

Magical Mary-Elle poured gold coins, music cards and instrument cards into the water The children dived in and got them. They completed the challenge.

Magical Mary-Elle magicked them home and the children woke up in their beds thinking that they had dreamed everything that happened. 

This term we are learning about the difference between a band and an orchestra.

We are performing patterns containing short and long sounds.

We listened to Octopus Garden by Beatles.

Does it sound like a band or an orchestra? What instruments can you hear?
