Yesterday afternoon we watched a rhythm lesson on Youtube. It taught us what each note meant.
A whole note is a circle and it has 4 beats. A half note looks like a d, the round part is empty and it means 2 beats. Next is a quarter note and it looks like a d with the middle filled in. A quarter note is only 1 beat. Then there is the eighth note which looks like 4 quarter notes all lined up together and one of those means 1/2 a beat!
We followed along with the people on the video to learn a song all about the beats of different notes.
See if you can watch the video and try it out! Good luck!

Amazing All Blacks Singing!
Room 6 have been learning this great song for the Rugby World Cup to fit in with the inquiry topic for the rest of the term! We think it is a great song to encourage the All Blacks to play well in the RWC 2015 and a great way of raising money and awareness for Cure Kids and their Battens disease research.

Musical Madness
Today Room 6 went to the music room again to practice Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as a round! We tried really hard and practised it a few times but one group always seemed to get mixed up!
We're going to practice it one more time next week, but we decided we would get some great practice by playing together as one big team and work hard so that it sounded great for our syndicate assembly on Monday! Have a listen below.
We're going to be working to put together an assembly for next week and we wanted to share a preview - we're also going to be singing a very special song that was only released 4 days ago! I wonder if you can guess what it is? Keep your eyes and ears open for more lovely music coming out of the windows and doors of Room 6!

Magical Music
This term we have been focusing on pitch and the different types of instruments. We have looked at using percussion instruments and tuned instruments.
Tuned instruments have lots of different notes and can have a low or a high pitch sound. They are instruments like the piano, a xylophone or our marimbas.
Percussion instruments have only one note that they play and these instruments might be a drum, maraca, cymbol or a triangle. We have used percussion instruments to keep the beat in our music lessons.
Over the next few weeks we are going to practice playing a song on the xylophone and marimba... Watch the video below and find out what the song is!
Perhaps at the end of the term we can video a mini concert to put on our blog and share with our viewers!
