Friday 6th November
This week we will start with the classical genre. I would like you to listen to this piece of music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE4CATvZ188
Your challenge is to draw a picture while listening to the music. First of all just close your eyes and listen. This is a chance for you to explore your imagination. There is not right or wrong answer it is what you hear and imagine when listening to this piece of music. Then draw your picture it could include patterns and actual picture. When sending in your picture or video it would be great if you could either say or write down what you’ve drawn and why. If you could send it in to your Year group emails by 18th November the winners and new challenge will be announced on Friday 20th November.
I will pick a winner per year group who will receive a special sticker and their name will be published in the winners section of this page.
