PLC & SLC: Exploring pitch

16/9/2025

 
Students explored the music element of Pitch, by making a new friend - a magical bumblebee.
And when we helped our little bumblebee friend fly in the air, we could draw pitch lines.
If our bumblebee flew up, we changed our voices to a high sound, and when our bumblebees flew down, we changed our voices to a low sound.
By singing our short song below, we learned that our hands can guide our voice's pitch. We also learned that changing our body's height can show if our voice is low pitch or high pitch.

The Song of the Bee:
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Busy bees must hum!
You can tell that... he is coming
By his buzzing...and his humming
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
Busy bees must hum

Shout out to ABC Education, for sharing a resource that helps our F-2 students link pitch with height.
