On Thursday morning, Year 1 did a cross curricular Music and English lesson. Children were all given percussion instruments and were asked to use these instruments to enhance storytelling of Jack and the Beanstalk. We discussed pitch and how using progressively higher notes on the glockenspiel could represent Jack climbing higher up the beanstalk and lower notes for him climbing down. Children were asked to use their own notation to remind themselves of how many times they would beat / shake their instrument.
