Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise singing and playing some special songs about working on board a ship to complete different jobs and actions using high and low pitches
Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to practise singing lines from different songs using low and high pitches and a set of cards to play and perform melodies for lines from a song about working on board a ship using high and low pitches.
The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to sing and play sea shanty songs about working on board a ship using high and low pitches.
This lesson is part of a music scheme of work to get the children to select, compose and play some of the different sounds using high and low pitches that can be made by ships and boats when at sea and in harbours.
