We learnt how to strengthen the feeling of pulse when working with rhythmic patterns through collaborative activities (clapping games!) We used our hands as instruments to explore rhythmic patterns in order to build the sense of pulse, inspired by Steve Reich's 'Clapping Music' Finally, we used our knowledge about rhythmic notation to notate our own composition. We even found time to perform ‘Jingle Bells’, interpreting musical notation on the glockenspiel! ### Y6 Music Rhythm [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143910.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143910.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143914.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143914.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143928.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143928.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143933.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143933.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143944.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143944.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143950.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_143950.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144002.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144002.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144007.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144007.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144012.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144012.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144017.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144017.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144020.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144020.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144250.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144250.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144254.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144254.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144257.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144257.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144304.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/images/gallery/y6-music-rhythm/IMG_20221207_144304.jpg) [Year 6](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/year-6) [Music](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/tag/music) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/download_(21).jpg)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2022-12-07-15-30-00-lifesaving-swimming) Previous ### [Lifesaving Swimming ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2022-12-07-15-30-00-lifesaving-swimming) [![](https://files.schudio.com/brooksideps/imagecache/100x100c/blog/IMG_4946%5B1%5D.JPG)](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2022-12-08-13-45-42-year-1-science-1) Next ### [Year 1 Science](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog/2022-12-08-13-45-42-year-1-science-1) ### School Life - [Brookside Blog ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/blog) - [News](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/news) - [Events](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/events) - [Photograph Galleries ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/photo-galleries) - [School Council](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/school-council) - [After-School Clubs ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/after-school-clubs) - [KIDZ Club](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/kidz-club) - [Calendar](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/calendar) - [Newsletters](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/information-for-parents/newsletters-2026-2027) - [Mental Health ](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/school-life/mental-health) ##### Location Rostherne Avenue Great Sutton Cheshire CH66 2EE ##### Contact Us 0151 558 1123 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/brooksideprimary/) © Copyright 2014–2026 Brookside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
