Soundtrack your story - rap

Year 5 are working on a music project related to national story telling week. The class are working towards writing a rap under the theme 'Soundtrack your story'.


Rayner High Music Taster Session

Year 5 visited Rayner today for a wonderful music taster session with ukeleles. They learnt how to play 4 chords: C, A minor, F and G. After some practise with playing the chords, the class played and sang to the song Shotgun. They were absolutely brilliant! 


Debates - Balanced argument

Today, Year 5 role-played a debate on a panel of for and against over some questions we came up with in class. Some of the questions the children debated about include; Should school meals be free? Should a school day be 4 hours instead of 6 hours? Should less subjects be taught in school? Should children be allowed junk food as a break-time snack? They came up with great reasons for and against.
