This resource immerses the class in the world of Disney’s Moana 2 using sounds and music as stimuli to learn about the main characters in the film and allow learners to demonstrate and develop their musical abilities using collaborative, creative and fun activities while drawing on rhythmic concepts and styles. With links to both the music and KS1 maths curriculums, the Bring the Beat activity sheet first guides learners through the profiles of the characters, who have been assigned a particular musical sound, which can be recreated through body percussion. Learners then work individually to decode a pattern of character images on the activity sheet into a series of sounds, creating a musical sequence that can be performed to the class. In addition, they can identify and extend the pattern of sounds in each sequence. Working in groups where appropriate, learners also devise their own musical key with a new set of images and corresponding sounds, allowing them to make a new musical sequence and create their own repeating body percussion pattern. This can then be performed to the class as they try to guess what sound comes next in the sequence.
