  1. Elements of a verse
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    A verse has character, setting and theme, written in lines and stanzas rather than as a full plotted story.
  2. Endurance in physical fitness
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Endurance is staying with a moderate effort for a longer time; practise skip, shuttle or step-ups with a talk test.
  3. Agility, and fitness to music
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Agility is changing direction quickly under control; practise cone zigzags and link both fitness components to a musical pulse.
  4. The bass staff and ledger lines
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Draw the bass staff, name lines GBDFA and spaces ACEG, and place middle C on a ledger line above the staff.
  5. Keyboard, accidentals and middle C
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Map bass pitches onto a piano keyboard, find middle C, and use sharp, flat and natural as accidentals.
  6. Note values and grouping in 3/4
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Review semibreve, minim, crotchet and a pair of quavers, then group them so each 3/4 bar totals three crotchet beats.
  7. Construct the scale of G major
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Build G major as G A B C D E F# G on treble and bass, with a one-sharp key signature.
  8. Components working together
    40 min · 1 practice tasks · quiz
    Verse, endurance, agility, bass pitch, 3/4 grouping and G major are components of one learning area; appreciate how they meet.
