Art and Culture
In Year 5 we are committed to supporting pupils in increasing their cultural capital. Every day we engage with a variety of music, poetry and art from the world's most famous artists. Find out about who we have been studying this year below:
Arts and Culture - Music
We listen to music from great composers and discuss a number of aspects of these pieces:
- Interpreting the composer's intentionality and the meaning behind the music.
- Discussing our own emotional reaction to the music.
- Using musical vocabulary to describe the different facets of the music
- Using broader vocabulary to describe the music and discuss links with other art we have studied.
