Musical messages

Wondering what students do in Music? Here are some recently completed projects from some of the groups.

A test with a splash

The Superswimmers group in Room 14 at H.I.S were out for a grand adventure, our Inquiry!  We were going to Soft Materials to create a pool noodle so we could complete our social action:  to create a swimming programme to teach beginner swimmers how to be more confident in the water.  Click, click, click went our sewing machines, and all too soon we were done.  Splash! We were testing our pool noodles in the pool Eek! The water was FREEZING, we swam around a little bit till we were warm, and the pool noodles worked perfectly, YAY!  We can’t wait till we can donate them.

Navigating the globe and promoting water safety through music

Jorja, Tiara, Aaliyah, Kendyl, Naashia, Ajay and Aven from Room 17 have been learning their instruments since Week 5. They plan to create a musical composition with a focus linked to teach people how to use navigation tools such as maps and a compass. We were learning about the texture of music last week, and we had a fun time creating our own percussion music using suggested formations during Week 6.    

William, Violet, Priyanka, Samantha, Jorale, Rayleina, Luke, Lorraine, Liam, Ezekiel and Jasmine from Room 14 have started learning instruments on Tuesday. Their goal is to create a musical composition that encourages people wear life jackets while being involved in water activities. We had a great time learning simple rhythm notations this week that are going to be useful for making music.
