This resource details the key facts, vocabulary and progression of knowledge covered in the Key Stage 1 Music Year 1 unit: Vocal and body sounds (By the sea). In this unit, children are encouraged to feel pieces of music by moving in ways they think convey its mood. They also make links between music, sounds and environments. These skills are used to help them represent calm or stormy seas using vocal and body sounds as well as percussion instruments

This Knowledge organiser encapsulates the key facts, vocabulary and themes taught in the unit, including how music can represent things such as the weather, the ocean and so on. The document is suitable for printing on A4 and for classroom display and can be used as a recap or refresher for the pupils at the end of a unit and school year.
