Unit 1: Environment	The Children explore songs and poems about places. They create accompaniments and sound pictures to reflect sounds in their local environment.
Unit 2: Building	The sights and sounds of a building site provide the inspiration for exploring and creating rhythms. The children play games, sing and compose music to build into a performance.
Unit 3: Sounds	How are sounds produced and classified? The children explore timbre and structure through music conversations in music from around the world.
Unit 4: Poetry	Three contrasting poems are explored and developed. The children use voices, body percussion, instruments and movement to create their own expressive performances.
Unit 5: China	The children explore the pentatonic scale and ways of notating pitch. They listen to traditional Chinese music, sing, read and compose music, ending in a musical celebration of Chinese New Year
Unit 6: Time	The children develop their understanding of beat, metre and rhythm. They combine melodic and rhythmic patterns and use staff notation as part of a final performance.
