5º de primaria // 5th grade

My dear students! 😊

How are you? How are you feeling these days?

I’m sure you are having a great time at home...You know that  we cannot go back yet to school, so, meanwhile……..

I have two musical proposals for you to do this week! 

1) The first one is an energetic song to move your body, to sing in English, to smile, and to have fun at home. Enjoy it! "ABC, easy as 1,2,3"
   
                                  

2) And the second one is... to make a water xylophone at home!!!!! Yes you read it well….
A WATER XYLOPHONE! Doesn’t it sound great?✨✨✨✨

( This is my homemade water xylophone. Do you like it?)😎

                    

                                          
To make it, you will need:

- 8 glasses

- Fresh water

- Food coloring or glitter,  if you want to make your xylophone bright!

- A teaspoon or a wooden spoon, to play.

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Place the eight glasses in a line, and fill them with water, just to check the sound they produce. Try to identify the different notes, just adding or removing water if you need. The biggest glass for "low do" will be on your left, and then you continue from bigger glasses, to smaller ones on your right (or if the glasses are the same size, from more water to less water) 

REMEMBER!!!!⚠

The more water you pour into a glass, the lower sound you will get. 

And the less water you use, the higher sound you will get.😉

                                        

SONGS:

You can try all the songs we have already played in class: life is beautiful, señorita, Polonesa, Happy Birthday, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Titanic, etc... ENJOY IT!

                                         

RESISTIRÉ 💪😊

QUÉDATE EN CASA! 😊

Looking forward to reading you...

I miss you!😍

Dear students, we are back again! 😊😺
I hope you are feeling well and ready to continue enjoying working from home! 💪😉
For this week, I have two proposals for you.

1. The first one is "KARAOKE TIME"!!!🎤🎧🎉🎈🎇🎼
Next Thursday, 23th April, we are celebrating the World Book Day.
Reading is so funny, so exciting, so interesting, so important in our lives...that I propose you to sing these songs. ENJOY THEM!😊

2. The second activity is to play "Resistiré" with the flute.

Here you have the music sheet! 😸

And here you have the accompaniment version to enjoy playing!!!😊💫✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
(Remember that you can slow down the speed!🌟 )

REMEMBER!!!!⚠
There is a moment when a boy appears at the right window, to play the second voice. Don't pay attention to him!😋😇 

Keep playing the first voice with the girl at the left window, and always read the first stave .
(Leed siempre el pentagrama de arriba, aunque aparezcan dos. El segundo es para la segunda voz que toca el chico de la ventana de la derecha)

DO# appears at the end of the song: it is like "la", without the thumb.

ENJOY IT!🌟



PLEASE, SEND ME A VIDEO BEFORE SUNDAY 26th APRIL, playing "Resistiré" to:

                         sarrimusic5@gmail.com

Do not forget to record it placing the mobile IN HORIZONTAL POSITION, IN FRONT OF YOU! Thank you!!!😉

Have a wonderful week!😊🌟
I miss you too!!!!💝
Lots of love!

Nekane💜

How are you?????

Did you go out yesterday?
Did you enjoy the open air??? 🌈🌞🌎🎉🎈
Did you take a deep breath? I hope so!!!! 😊😉👏👏

Here I am one more week... last week of April!



Last week I didn't receive a lot of videos from you playing "Resistiré" and most of you played it without the accompaniment version.


This is why I have decided, not to send you any new homework for this week, but I want you to SEND ME THE VIDEO PLAYING THE SONG WITH THE ACCOMPANIMENT , using THE YOUTUBE VERSION YOU HAVE  ABOVE.

*If you already sent it to me, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!😍...you don't need to send it again.

*If you sent it to me, but playing alone, without any accompaniment, please send it to me again, WITH THE ACCOMPANIMENT, enjoying the music!😇

*If you didn't send me any recording.....this is your opportunity!!!!!!😜...I will be looking forward to listening to you!!!! 
CHEER UP! 💪😉

                sarrimusic5@gmail.com



Apart from this, here you have a wonderful video of one of the most famous BRASS GROUP in the word...They are Spanish...they are  "The Spanish Brass" with their trumpets, trombone, horn and tuba.
They came to Pamplona last June and it was amazing!! 🌟

You can invite your family to watch it with you, I am sure they will love the experience...😊

Write on the blog to share your opinions of this video! 😉


Have a wonderful week!😊🌟

THE POWER OF MUSIC!

Dear students, how are you?
Here I am one more week...

This week we are going to talk about music, feelings and emotions...

As I always tell you in my lessons, I couldn't live without music, because I think that music is really important in our lives...no matter what kind of music you listen to! It can stimulate emotions such as: sadness, fear, nostalgic, happiness, relax, surprise, trust, calm or joy among others.




My proposal for this week is to tell me how you feel when you listen to the following music:

3. ROSSINI: WILLIAM TELL

                                       
                    4. TCHAIKOVSKY: THE SWAN LAKE 

                                          
 

5. PIETRO MASCAGNI: CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA

                                          



I hope you like them!


HOMEWORK:

CHOOSE TWO OF THESE MUSICS, AND WRITE ME AN EMAIL to

                 sarrimusic5@gmail.com 

TELLING ME HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU LISTEN TO THEM.

You can follow this structure:

1. I love

I like

I don’t like

this music, because it makes me feel (*)...

and it makes me think of…………….

I remember when……

(*) FEELINGS OPTIONAL VOCABULARY: 

Happy, confident, sad, nervous, bored, angry, afraid, miserable, confused, hurt, empowered, angry, powerful, uncomfortable, agitated, calm, irritated, loved, understood, appreciated, etc..

ENJOY IT!!!!😍

Dear students....how are you?

I hope everybody is ok at home...as I can see on the videos you are sending to me these weeks, you look full of energy and that's great!!💪😍👏👏👏

First of all, today I want to THANK YOU for your work and the effort you are doing these days to prepare all your homework. I feel very proud of you!!! I know it is not easy to continue working on your own, and however, you are doing it fantastically...so....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

😉🌟🎉

This week I propose you to continue studying Dance Monkey. I want you to take your time, prepare a good version and send it to me not before Thursday, to have time enough to prepare it, ok? If you can, record it WITH THE ACCOMPANIMENT that is up on the Blog, ok?

Just two little things, as a reminder:

* "RE AGUDO": we play it as "Do agudo", but without your thumb.

* "MI AGUDO": like normal mi, without your thumb.

As I know you are waiting for the video of this week, here you have a great one. They are The Rogers family: the seven of them are brothers and sisters...isn't it wonderful? 
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 
(twins, triplets, and a young boy and a girl)  

With them, you will see all the possibilities that a  piano has inside as a string (and percussion!) instrument. Because as I always tell you in class, people don't usually know that pianos have strings inside. You can watch the video with your family...I'm sure they will be very surprised too! 😉

HOMEWORK

This week, when you send me your Dance Monkey video, could you write me on the email, please, six more STRING INSTRUMENTS you know?😎

You have one week to think about them!

Next Monday, I will tell you the answer...😇😋

Have a wonderful week!😊🌞

I MISS YOU!😍

Looking forward to seeing you very soon!

Lots of love for all of you!💝

Nekane💜
