Please note
In this unit, the children combine all the musical concepts learned throughout Year 1 for an underwater-themed performance incorporating instrumental, vocal and body sounds. This unit replaces the Year 1 unit Musical vocabulary (Theme: Under the sea), which is permanently available in our archive but is no longer updated in line with curriculum or website developments.
For the most up-to-date information about our music scheme, please refer to the document Music: Long-term plan.
