Year 3 2022-2023

Year 3 have been learning about pentatonic scales in music during their 'Japan' topic, and created ostinato patterns using the pentatonic scale to accompany a traditional Japanese folk song 'Momotarosan', The song is from a well known story, and the children can now sing the song with 2 verses in Japanese. The accompaniment was further embellished with a drum and Indian bell ostinato. On Friday 26th May 2023, Year 3 performed the song to their teachers in the hall, and this was videoed
