In this lesson, we will get busy at the Veggie Patch. We will use raindrops to help us physicalise pitch and start to read high, middle and low sounds. This lesson's brand new song is one to dance to, so make sure you have plenty of space.

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.

In this lesson, we will visit the Veggie Patch again to see how high our plants have grown. We will use the image of growing plants to explore pitch and use an action game to reinforce the learning we did around the beat earlier on in the unit.

In this lesson, we will revisit the traditional tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". We will use the previous learning in note duration to read some simple rhythms through symbols. We will also climb the Beanstalk again to further develop our understanding of pitch.

In this lesson, we will be taking an imaginative journey through the traditional tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". We will use the footsteps of the characters in the story to explore note duration. We will climb the Beanstalk and develop our understanding of pitch as we climb higher and higher.

In this lesson, we will start to explore the garden through singing games and rhymes. We will develop our sense of pulse and our understanding of note duration.

In this lesson, we will start to explore different pitches through imaginative play. We will also keep exploring note durations and keep our sense of pulse strong through physicalisation of the beat.

In this lesson, we will meet lots of new people who help us. There will be some more rhythm activities plus a game to help us use the voice in lots of different ways.

In this lesson, we will be playing singing games all about the people who help us in our community. The games will help us develop our rhythm reading skills and our sense of beat.
