Warm-ups
Key Stage 1
Year 1
Music
Let's begin by warming up our bodies because we know how important it is to warm up before we start making music and singing. We'll begin with a stretch. Arms high into the air. Onto our tiptoes. Hold onto a monkey bar. And we are going to not let go of that monkey bar, but we are going to lower our heels to the ground. So we're going to get taller! Lowering to the count of four. Here we go. One. Two. Three. Four! Gosh, you're all super tall! Drop your fingers, and your wrists and your elbows, and your shoulders. Relax your knees and go. (teacher shakes and vocalises) (students shake and vocalise) Very good, let's do that one more time. Stretch up! Onto your tiptoes. Hold onto the monkey bar. Lowering our heels to a count of four going one. Two. Three. Four! Gosh, you're so tall now! Drop your fingers, and your wrists and your elbows, and your shoulders. Relax your knees and. (teacher shakes and vocalises) (students shake and vocalise) Very good! Now let's take up as much space as we can. Make a really, really big space. Huge shapes. And we are going to shrink down into a teeny, tiny shape. Tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny like a little seed. And we're now going to grow back to a big shape. Are you ready? One, two, three, go! Grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow! And relax, feet slightly apart, arms by our side. Let's focus on our bodies now. Wiggle your nose. And your knees. Fingers. Toes. Bottoms. (students giggle) Ears. Back to nose. ♪ Mm ♪ And fingers and toes together. And relax. Really well done. Time to get out our imaginary plasticine. Mine is kept behind my ear. Take yours and squidge it into a ball and make a nice shape. Let's make a body with two legs, arms, a head, some lovely hair, and a smiley face. And let's give our character a name. What should we call them? Bob. Right. Now Bob works in the city and lives on the 38th floor of a high rise flat. And Bob likes to sing When he finishes work and walks home. Join in with me and Bob. ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ And when he arrives he needs to call the lift. Lift! And the lift arrives and the doors open. Shoom! And he steps in, reaches up to the 38th button. Ding! And copy me and Bob as he goes up in the lift. Ready to join in? (teacher humming from low pitch to high pitch) Ding! Shoom! And the door's open. Out steps Bob. (gasps) Oh no! Someone's left a window open! And a huge gust of wind blows Plasticine Bob out of the window and he goes, "Ahh!" (sustained) Joining in. "Ahh!" (sustained) Splat! (claps hands together) (teacher gasps) Let's make him again. One more time. Squidge, make a body, two legs, arms, head, beautiful hair, smiley face. And let's give it another name. Who should we have this time? Sue. Good. Right, now Sue works in the city, but she lives over there on the 39th floor of a high rise flat. Friends with Bob. And she likes to sing as she walks home from work. Join in with Sue. Here she goes. ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ ♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Do ♪ And she's gonna have to call the lift. Lift! And the lift arrives. Shoom! And she steps into the lift and reaches even higher up to the 39th button. Ding! And join in as Sue goes up in the lift. Here she goes. (teacher humming from low pitch high pitch) Ding! Shoom! Doors open and. Ah! They didn't close the window! And the gust of wind takes Plasticine Sue out of the window, as she goes sailing, join in. "Ahh!" (sustained) Splat! (hands clap) Well done. We are now going to warm up our mouths because this is going to help us sing well. And we're going to do this with a tongue twister. And the tongue twister says this, "Cooks cook cupcakes quickly." Which is good 'cause I really like cupcakes. My turn. Your turn. Cooks. <v Class>Cooks</v> <v ->cook. </v> <v Class>Cook</v> <v ->Cupcakes</v> <v Class>Cupcakes</v> <v ->quickly. </v> <v Class>quickly. </v> <v ->Cooks cook</v> <v Class>Cooks cook</v> <v ->cupcakes quickly. </v> <v Class>cupcakes quickly. </v> <v ->Cooks cook cupcakes</v> <v Class>Cooks cook cupcakes</v> <v ->Cooks cook cupcakes</v> <v ->Cooks cook cupcakes</v> <v ->Cooks cook cupcakes quickly. </v> <v Class>Cooks cooks cupcakes quickly. </v> <v ->Very good. </v> We'll try it slowly, and then we'll get a little bit faster.
