What you’ll learn
I can compose and perform rhythm patterns using my body.
Key learning points
- Move: using our bodies to create rhythm patterns and sound needs stamping, clapping, clicking and tapping.
- Think: evaluation helps us to compose body percussion movements creating sound and use them to design rhythm patterns.
- Feel: performing work accurately needs rehearsal and resilience.
- Connect: sharing our actions with other pupils involves trust.
Words to know
- rhythm
- a repeated pattern of sound or movement
- repeat
- to perform an action or series of actions more than once
- quartet
- a performance by four people
Common mistakes
'The beat' and 'the rhythm' are the same thing.
The beat is the steady pulse of a piece of music that stays the same. Rhythm is how we mix up the beat to make patterns of sound.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Use film clips, images and music to give pupils examples of different dance styles. These can add context and broaden understanding.
