Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and perform different rhythm patterns to represent a specific theme and a template to select and record a range of different rhythm patterns on a musical score to show the sounds of a rainstorm.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to compose and perform a range of different rhythm patterns that can represent the sounds that can be heard during a rainstorm.

This lesson is part of a music scheme of work to get the children to practise composing and performing four beat rhythm patterns to reflect ideas and expressions illustrating the weather. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
