Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: Could work from the Sheet music: Interlocking patterns (voices 1 and 2), and can also write the letter names over the top of the notes if necessary. They will find tuned percussion Part 2 easier to sing/play.
Pupils working at greater depth: Can play tuned percussion part 1, as this part requires the children to know when to stop playing.
