What did we learn?
Georgia- Silent night is over 200 years old
Alex- it was first performed in 1818
Matthew- this was the Georgian era
Matilda- it spread from village to village, then towns and then the world
Brandon- the poet and composer were from Austria so it was written and sung in German
What must it have been like to hear it that very first time?
Matilda- people must have been amazed
Finley- shocked, in a happy way
Elliot- so overwhelmed they may have passed out
How did it make you feel as you listened?
Courtney- chilled
Poppy-Mai- relaxed
Joe- happy and joyful
Matilda- tired
We thought about our favourite carols/ songs…
Miss Wilson- it was on a starry night
Ben B- Heaven on earth
Edward- jingle bells
Charlie R- boogie Santa
Year 1 enjoyed listening to the music and watching the animation.
Charlie said that listening to the music made him feel happy.
Mason said he felt calm and relaxed.
Brooke said that it made her feel sleepy and it was like a lullabye.
Chloe said it made her feel Wintery and cold.
Reggie remembered that the music was written in 1818. Kyton told us that this was over 200 years ago. Year 1 were very surprised that it is such an old piece of music.
Elsie told us that it spread around the World because it told of the very First Christmas. We talked about the word holy meaning belonging to God.
Our favourite songs are:
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree (Mason)
Twinkle, Twinkle (Annabelle)
Bang Goes the Cracker (Dorothy)
Shiny Baubles (Charlie)
Jingle Bells (Brooke)
Stop the Cavalry (Elsie)
