Music

• Spot the difference! Listen to "Let's Rock and Roll" and then listen to "Hey Baby Let's Rock and Roll" - make a list of all the differences and similarities e.g. tempo (the speed of the beat), lyrics (words of the song), dynamics (music can be loud or soft), pitch (the highness or lowness of a note), tone colour the specific sound quality of a voice or instrument.

Dance

• What is a locomotor move? A movement in which the body travels across space (running, creeping, rolling). What is a non-locomotor move? A movement in which the body remains anchored to one spot by a body part (for example, bending, twisting, stretching). What kind of movements can you spot in the song?
• Create moves to match the words of the song.

Drama
