- Music can be notated to be remembered for another day and we can use a musical stave to do this.
- We can show so, mi, and la on a musical stave.

Teacher tip
Our songs this unit focus on the toneset do, mi, so, la. Solfège syllables help us to hear the relationship and interval between notes. Solfège syllables are not fixed notes meaning we can explore the relationship between notes by singing in any key. For this reason, our starting notes will vary.
Equipment
A large bouncy ball, pencils to draw notes or manipulatives to represent notes
