Upper KS2 Workshop

Micro: Melodies

dances
Step into an exciting workshop where music, coding, and science come together! Using the Micro:Bit, pupils explore its musical features through block-based coding. They assign notes, build a collaborative graphic score, and perform it with movement, singing, and rhythm. Along the way, they code crotchets, quavers, and semiquavers into a catchy tune, then investigate light and sound by creating a theremin-like instrument—even using shadows to play music. It’s a fun, cross-curricular experience that unlocks creativity through technology.

Pupils will explore syncopated rhythms, playing by ear, graphic notation, and chord structures, supporting the Music curriculum. Through Micro:Bit activities, they investigate light, gravity, electricity, and sound, linking directly to Science. Mathematics is integrated with tasks involving measurement, equivalence, angles, and interpreting data. In Computing, pupils practise coding, debugging, logical reasoning, and develop confidence in using search technologies and applying online safety principles.
