We then worked in small groups to appraise each building and decide on which building we liked the most, and why, and which building we liked the least, and why.

Thursday 14th October 2021 Music

Today 3X have started to learn the recorder. First we looked at the different parts of the recorder and then we talked about how best to play it. We all blew really hard into the recorder but it made an awful sound so we blew gently. This was not a great sound either. Luckily, we found the correct about of breath to blow into our recorders to produce a good sound.

We learnt a new song and enjoyed blowing into the recorders.

We are all excited about our next lesson.
