Top 10 Summer Songs!

Today for the summer learning journey I had to make a Top 10 Hits like on the radio and a form to fill out so I know what your favorite summer song is! The songs are, 

Can't stop the feeling, 

Fly Away, 

The Other Side, 

Savage Love, 

Sun goes down, 

Uptown Funk, 

Royals, 

Happy

Rain on me

and Bad Guy.

But not in that order! The Reasons I put them in are:

Can't stop the feeling, because it makes me want to dance whenever I hear it! 

For Fly Away It is because whenever I hear it, it makes me happy! 

The Other Side because I did was in a flash mob with this song when it was the other side of lock down! 

Savage Love because lots of people know it and sometimes makes people happy. I was also taught a tap dance to it! 

Sun Goes Down because summer is all about the sun and it just felt summer like.

Uptown Funk because I wanted to add something that is old school but really cool! 

Royals because it is one of my favourite kiwi songs.

Happy because the song is all about being happy and how you should too.

Rain on me because it is my favorite song in the whole playlist.

Bad Guy because everyone knows it and sometimes makes people happy.

What are your top 10 songs?

Did you know that music can bring people together? I enjoyed finding songs because they all had to mean something to me and make people happy. It was tricky to add them all on a slide because one of the songs I had wanted to do called Dance away these days did not have a lyric video. So I just changed it to a different song. The song I changed it to is Can't stop the feeling by Justin Timberlake. Next time I would change the background on the sides so it was yellow, which is a more summery colour.

Here is my top 10 hits:

Here is the form:

Summer Song Maker

 Today for summer learning journey I had to make a summer song using Chrome Music lab. Mine was inspired by the sounds of cicadas, crickets and happy birds of summer! I then decided to play with the music more and managed to work out how to play twinkle twinkle little star. Next I wrote a song about summer to the twinkle twinkle little star tune. Did you know the tune of twinkle twinkle little star is the same tune as the abc song and very similar to baa baa black sheep?

I had so much fun doing all of this I researched how to make one of my favourite songs on music lab, then learnt how to make chords in there as well! 

My favourite part of this was making my favourite song sound even better by putting chords in with the song! I found it challenging at first to work out what colour what which note.  Next time I would do more than just the part at the start of my favourite song. I want to learn how to read music faster to make this all easier to do. 

Here is my summer song maker based on cicadas, crickets and happy birds:

Here is my twinkle twinkle base song:

Here is my favourite song. Can you guess what it is? Without chords:

Hero song by cups and paper

Today for my summer learning journey I had to make a hero song with cups and paper. Nano Girl gave us this task too. I learnt how to play mary had a little lamb on the cups.

I liked playing the cups because it was the easiest bit.

It was hard to make the paper work because It kept on unrolling

Here is my slide deck:

Scratch Songs

In the holidays on a very rainy day I got bored so I went onto hour of code and looked at what I could do. I saw that I could make music on scratch and I clicked on it. It took me to scratch and I watched the tutorial.I thought I could make 3 and asked my brothers and sisters what their favourite song was. I chose Dance Monkey by tones and I, My sister chose Rainbow by Sia and my brother chose Happy by Pharrell Williams. So I coded 3 scratches and sang the songs. I took a screencastify of them working so I could post them.

I enjoyed singing the songs.

I found it tricky to code them.

Next time I will change the background of Dance Monkey.

My digital learning object shows that I can code on scratch.

Here is Dance Monkey:

Here is Rainbow:

Here is Happy:
