In this lesson, we will discover what animals have been making footprints and develop our notation rhythm reading. We will learn a new song about a bird and a Russian Folk song about a Birch Tree.

The Woodland (Part 1)

In this lesson, we will be going deeper into the Woods and meeting a man in a cottage who loves to rescue animals. We will use more pawprints to develop our rhythm reading skills and make up some actions to a folk song.

The Woodland (Part 2)

In this lesson, we will go on our final visit to the Woods. We will go walking with a fox, sing with the birds and rescue some more animals. We will use our knowledge of note duration to act-out different animal footsteps on our journey and improvise our own songs with the birds.

The Woodland (Part 3)

In this lesson, we will be going on an imaginative journey deep into the Brazilian Rainforest to meet some songbirds, eat some fruit and do a lot of musical learning along the way!

The Rainforest (Part 1)

In this lesson, we will revisit the colourful rainforest and further explore our voices by improvising birdsongs, dance to some Brazilian drumming and make up some funky fruit rhythms.

The Rainforest (Part 2)

In this lesson, we will go on our final trip to the Rainforest. We will use our imagination to listen to the sounds of the rivers of the Rainforest. we will strengthen our sense of pulse through a canoeing song and mix up another delicious fruit salad with your own ideas for rhythm patterns.
