    Gruffalo compositions

    10 February 2026 (by admin)

    Year 2 finished their music unit this half term by performing their Gruffalo composistions.

    Year 2 have been focusing on rhythm, pulse and pitch this half term in their music lessons, experimenting with different percussion instruments to create their own original composition based on the story of 'The Gruffalo'. The children used their knowledge of crotchets and quavers, and their knowledge of high, middle and low pitches to create different four beat rhythms for the animals that the Gruffalo scares and the Gruffalo himself. Working in pairs, the children created and wrote down their music using musical notation and then performed to the rest of the class.
