 * Delivery Considerations **


 * Educational Concepts **

Pitch Shapes, Rhythm, dynamics, timbre, harmony
 * Music Concepts **

Listening Imagining Gesture – mirroring Sensory story – sound and physical story expressions Circle activities – soundscapes Creating short stories, plays and songs ‘Play along’ music with backing tracks and coloured scores
 * Activities **

Lesson 1 STEP ONE – Students listen and make decisions Listening – with Graphc Notation (with bell sounds) - Same or different - Going up or going down - Getting louder or getting softer STEP TWO Students draw pitch patterns in the air

STEP THREE Students represent sound effects with gesture - walking, driving, a stream, a barking dog

STEP FOUR A Trip To The Stream - Listen to recorded story

STEP FIVE Workshop key moments in story with bells, boxes, water container, vocal sounds

STEP SIX Retelling the story using gesture and bells

STEP SEVEN Dramatizing the story with narration and accompaniment


 * Lesson Two **

PATTERNS Soundscape ‘Out On The Ocean’

STEP ONE – Students listen and make decisions about patterns - Listening – with Graphc Notation (with bell sounds) - Same or different - Pattern Getting louder or getting softer

STEP TWO Students draw pitch patterns in the air wit recorded voice support and visual guides

STEP THREE Students represent sound effects with gesture - on the ocean, wind, splashing, lost

STEP FOUR - ‘Out On The Ocean’ - Listen to recorded story

JUBILEE FLOWERS
Students and parents will soon be planting over 2,000 bulbs which will be used for a variety of activities leading up to our jubilee celebrations. Each child will plant one pot and watch it's progress. There will also be community pots. The pots will all be numbered so each child can identify their pot.

See below a picture of our school emblem which can be represented with flower pots. WE CAN WRITE WORDS WITH PLANTS !!

Here is an example of flower pictures at the Floriade festival. Here is their website. http://www.floriadeaustralia.com/about-floriade/photo-gallery

HOW CAN WE ORGANIZE OUR BULBS ? Each pot will be numbered.

Here's a suggestion

Preps 1 -75 Grade 1 - odd numbers Grade 2 - even numbers Grade 3 - Multiples of 10 Grade 4 - Multiples of 5 Grade 5 - from 990- 1060 Grade 6 - Multiples of 9

OR we can colour classify

Yellow Ranunculas - 1 - 250 Yellow Frescias - 251 - 500 Mixed tulips - 501 - 750 (These will bloom in different colours. We won't know the colour until each pot blooms. This could be a good maths prediction activity ) Mixed Freesias - 751 -1750 Mixed Ranunculus - 1751 - 2750 Dutch Iris - 2751 -3000
