Music - KS1 - Year 1 / Year 2

Summer Term 2025 

Year 1

During Music, through fairytales, children are introduced to the concept of sound patterns and rhythms. They will explore clapping along to repeated words and phrases and creating rhythmic patterns to tell a familiar fairytale. They will also use their voice pitch to differentiate different characters, develop their score reading skills, and further work on controlling dynamics with instruments.

Year 2

Summer 1 - Memory Box

We will be looking at how a piece of music is structured and composed and how music can have different layers within it. We will create our own music and perform our finished pieces.

Summer 2 - Sensational Safari

As part of our new topic ‘Sensational Safari’, we will be using different sounds and instruments to replicate the noises of the land including animals and traditional African music. We will be learning a range of songs using call and response rhythms.
