Plenary

Greeting to the children.

T to explain to the children about the session (see the attached script) and check all children are happy to join in. T to give out questionnaires to the children and recap how to complete them.

To create a piece of music describing a set of emotions.

Singing: Sing one of the children’s favourite songs from the list given by the children last week.

Explain that this week we are going to be pulling together all of our ideas we have created with emotions and music over the past five weeks. Remind the children that they can stop joining in if they start to feel uncomfortable.

Ask the children for the different emotions we have used over the weeks and the way we have used music to describe—record these on the IWB.

Explain that we are going to use the ideas we have created over the past few weeks to create a story using music.

Show the story board template.

MODEL: Explain that T and TA have worked together to create a story and some music to go with this. Share the storyboard (see example in group activities) and play the music to go with this.

Children design their story board of emotions. They can choose to complete this activity in pairs, on their own or within a group.

Example: A person feels happy (joyful music) then he sees a snake which he is scared of (fear music) snake slithers away, doesn’t like the way it looks (disgust music) snake has gone (joyful music).

Story Board Template—children draw pictures and write notes about music in the blue space. This will be cut into strips so children can choose to complete one, two three + emotions.

Compose: Children create their ideas through music and practice this, adding to their story boards to help them remember what they have used.

Perform: Children perform their emotion pieces in the celebration assembly on the Friday if they choose to.

Singing: Have a vote as a group from the list of the favourite songs they have been singing over the past six weeks and sing this one (this can also be performed in the assembly if they choose to do this).

TA and T to interact with children listening to their discussions and making notes on how the children are with their peers. Who works alone? Pairs? As a group? Has this changed from previous weeks?

Children complete questionnaires about their mood after the session and T to take any verbal feedback from the children about the sessions. TA to write down what children say to record feedback. Did you enjoy the sessions? Is there anything you enjoyed? Anything you did not enjoy?

T to read script for debrief to the children and dismiss the children at the front office.
