At Yorkswood Primary School during Key Stage 2 children sing songs and play instruments with increasing confidence, skill, expression and awareness of their own contribution to a group or class performance.

They improvise and develop their own musical compositions, in response to a variety of different stimuli with increasing personal involvement, independence and creativity.

The children widen their musical knowledge and explore their thoughts and feelings through responding physically, intellectually and emotionally to a variety of music from different times and cultures.

Each half term, the children learn a new song with opportunities to play instruments.

In year 6 children will learn and use these songs:

Autumn One – Happy

Autumn Two – Classroom Jazz 2

Spring One – A New Year Carol

Spring Two –You’ve Got A Friend

Summer One – Music And Me

Summer Two – Reflect, Replay and Rewind
