Welsh Song

Disgrifiad

This task asked the children to create music and lyrics to a Welsh song using the GarageBand app on the iPads. As this was the last year of primary school for the Year 6 children, the purpose of the song was to leave something behind to help teach the younger classes some Welsh phrases. The children were divided into groups of 3 or 4 and provided a list of vocabulary and sentence patterns they had previously studied, to use in their songs. Using the iPads, the children formulated a short musical composition and then created their own lyrics to sing over top. The entire song was recorded and saved on the iPads using GarageBand. In a following lesson, the children used the AirPlay feature on the iPads and Apple TV to present their songs to the class for feedback and discussion.

Clips

IPads were used as a more engaging way of teaching the sentence patterns. In this extract they were using the iPads to formulate their music/song on GarageBand and record their singing. The iPads provided constant feedback, listening back on their work and correcting themselves. The children are quite clued up with a lot of technology so they will work independently and there’s no limit to their creativity. One of the biggest benefits of the iPads in this task is their mobility. The children were able to go all over the school yard.
