Now it's time to do some learning.

Today we're going to learn to review our understanding of pulse, to maintain a steady pulse, to find the strong beat in a bar, and to move along to music.

In this lesson you will need your body, give us a wave, your voice, say, "Hello," and a teddy or toy.

Do you remember the song Hot Cross Buns? Let's sing it together.

We'll put the pulse on our knees.

♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny ♪ ♪ Two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Fantastic, this time we're going to put the words on our hands, and we're going to clap the rhythm.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny ♪ ♪ Two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Did you do the rhythm correctly? Let's try it one more time.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ ♪ One a penny ♪ ♪ Two a penny ♪ ♪ Hot cross buns ♪ Well done, you.

Do you remember the Swallows in the sunshine song? Let's sing it together.

We'll pop the beat on our knees.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ ♪ Swallows fly ♪ ♪ Diving, racing, sunbeam chasing ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ Fantastic, this time we're going to blow those words onto our hands, and we're going to clap the rhythm.

You might notice something about this rhythm.

It's the same as one of the other songs we've been learning.

Can you guess which one? That's right, it's exactly the same as Hot Cross Buns.

Let's have a go.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ ♪ Swallows fly ♪ ♪ Diving, racing, sunbeam chasing ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ Fantastic, let's try one more time.

Make sure those words are nicely on your fingers.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ ♪ Swallows fly ♪ ♪ Diving, racing, sunbeam chasing ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ Oh no, I did something wrong.

Can you tell what I did wrong? That's right, I didn't blow the words onto my hand.

I was clapping the beat and not the rhythm.

Let's try one more time.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ ♪ Swallows fly ♪ ♪ Diving, racing, sunbeam chasing ♪ ♪ Way up high ♪ That was better.

Well done, you.

Harry Hare's here.

Let's sing his song.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is in a hurry ♪ ♪ Full of care ♪ ♪ And full of worry ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is late for tea ♪ ♪ What a naughty hare is he ♪ Do you remember last time we said that we were going to use a tea-tea pulse to show that Harry Hare is in a hurry, and he's running late for his tea? Let's have a go with that tea-tea pulse.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is in a hurry ♪ ♪ Full of care ♪ ♪ And full of worry ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is late for tea ♪ ♪ What a naughty hare is he ♪ Fantastic, that's very similar to the rhythm.

There are only a few notes that don't fit with that tea-tea pulse.

Let's see if we can work out which ones they are.

Blow the words onto your hands.

Fantastic.

♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is in a hurry ♪ ♪ Full of care ♪ ♪ And full of worry ♪ ♪ Harry Hare is late for tea ♪ ♪ What a naughty hare is he ♪ Fantastic.

Well done, you.

Do you remember that song about Slowcoach Susie the Snail? And do you remember how she was so slow at the beginning of the song that we had to use a tah-ah or daddy bear pulse to show that she was going really slowly? Do you remember how halfway through the song she got a scooter, and then she was whizzing past all the children? And we did a tea-tea pulse or a baby bear pulse to show how fast she was going? Let's see if we can try that now.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Slowcoach Susie ♪ ♪ Late for school each day ♪ ♪ Till she bought a scooter bright and gay ♪ ♪ Now she whizzes by ♪ ♪ As the others cry ♪ ♪ Wait for us please speedy Susie Snail ♪ Fantastic, let's try that one more time.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ Slowcoach Susie ♪ ♪ Late for school each day ♪ ♪ Till she bought a scooter bright and gay ♪ ♪ Now she whizzes by ♪ ♪ As the others cry ♪ ♪ Wait for us please speedy Susie Snail ♪ Awesome.

♪ London bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridges is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady ♪ Do you know this song? Can you sing it along with me? ♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London bridges is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady.

♪ It's an easy song, isn't it? What we're going to do today is we're going to clap on the strongest beats.

Those are the beats that start at each line of the song.

Firstly, we're going to only clap when we hear the word London, I'll do it first and then it will be your turn.

♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady ♪ Your turn to join in.

♪ Ready off we go ♪ ♪ London bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady ♪ Good job.

This time, we're going to add in some extra claps at the start of each line.

So we'll be clapping on London, falling, London and my.

I'll show you what I mean.

♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady ♪ Let's have a go together.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady.

♪ Let's do that again, this time we're going to keep the pulse on our knees and we're going to clap on the first beat of every line of the song.

Just like we've been doing.

♪ Ready off I go ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ Falling down ♪ ♪ London Bridge is falling down ♪ ♪ My fair lady ♪ Well done, you.

The strongest beat is always the first beat in the pattern.

Fantastic.

Which beat is usually the strongest beat in the bar.

Is it the first one, the second one, the third one or the fourth one? That's right, it's the first beat.

Time to listen.

How many different ways can you move your body in time to the beat? This piece of music is called Habanera from Carmen.

It's by a composer called Bizet.

Today we have reviewed our understanding of pulse, maintained a steady pulse, found the strong beat in a bar and moved along to the music.
