Pupils needing support:

• Could use simple two-word phrases (e.g. soft cloud) to create a rhythm by matching one syllable to each note.
• Could follow a modelled example of dynamics to create contrast by copying and then adapting it in their own composition.

Pupils working at greater depth:

• Should develop their melody by combining techniques such as dynamics, tempo or layering to create contrast between cloud types.
• Should explain their musical choices by linking pitch, dynamics and tempo to the mood of each cloud.
• Could develop their phrase by using a technique not suggested, for example, adding chords.
