Year 5 Trips
ORCHESTRA UNWRAPPED
Date: Thursday 2nd November 23
We have managed to secure enough tickets for all Year 5 pupils to see the Philharmonia Orchestra play at the Royal Festival Hall. ‘Orchestra Unwrapped’ is an initiative to give thousands of children aged 7-11 the opportunity to hear a symphony orchestra and learn more about classical music in an engaging, entertaining and age-appropriate performance.
The theme of this year’s concert is’ Celebrating the Sounds of America’. Pupils will hear a variety of music including works by Dvorak, Jopland and John Williams. They will also have the opportunity to sing along with the orchestra in an audience participation piece called ‘Home Within My Heart’.
The concert will take place on Thursday 2nd November at 1pm. We will be travelling to and from the venue on public transport, leaving at 10am and returning by 4pm. All pupils will need to wear full school uniform and bring a water bottle in a rucksack. The form for requesting a packed lunch has been closed. You will be notified if you need to bring a packed lunch in.
