In Year 4, we learn how to play the Ukulele. Macaulay, a music teacher, comes in five times per term to teach us different chords and songs.

Songs we learn to play:

• My dog has fleas
• A sailor went to sea
• Sur le pont d’Avignon
• What shall we do with a drunken sailor?
• The Irish Washerwoman
• Shake it off – Taylor Swift
• Shotgun – George Ezra

Chords we learn to play:

• C major
• F major
• D minor
• G7
• A minor

Year 5 / 6 Progression Group

10 children from year 5 and 10 children from year 6 carry on learning to play the Ukulele with Macaulay to build on their skills and knowledge from year 4. These children will learn to play more complicated chords and songs.
