Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to practise performing different rhythm patterns with eight beats and a template to help select and record different eight beat rhythm patterns to reflect space travel on a rocket when visiting planets in the Solar System.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose eight beat rhythm patterns to reflect space travel by rocket through space.

This lesson is part of a music scheme of work to get the children to identify, describe and compose rhythm patterns and musical compositions to illustrate moods and objects connected to space when visiting other planets. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
