Please note
In this new unit, the children combine all the musical concepts learned throughout Year 1 for an underwater-themed performance incorporating instrumental, vocal and body sounds. The Archived unit: Musical vocabulary (Theme: Under 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.
