Musical Notes

Kia ora,

Rm. 20 has been learning to read and write musical notes. We can identify a semibreve, a minim, a crotchet, a pair of quavers and a rest. Rm. 20 worked together in pairs to create 4-beat rhythm patterns. Then we taught them to a buddy pair and eventually combined them as a class. Check out our rhythm pattern!
