Important note
In this new unit, children make links between music, sounds and environments and use percussion, vocal and body sounds to represent the seaside. The Archived unit: Vocal and body sounds (Theme: By the sea) will no longer be updated. Please see our Music: Long-term plan for more information about recent updates to our scheme and how they may affect your school.
