Music

The excitement is building as we complete preparations for the big events of next week - our Year 4 Production and the Spring Concerts. Fine-tuning performances which are already at a pleasing standard is a challenge, and I am sure you will agree that the results are well worth the hours of preparation, focus and hard work!  Amongst all of this, Year 6 have begun a music and media project to create some musical material for advertising various products - you will have an opportunity to enjoy this at either the Summer Fair or the Year 6 Production at the end of next term.

ABRSM Exam success

Congratulations to Ren in Year 5 who recently passed his Grade 3 Violin exam. 

Instrument/LAMDA lessons

This term has seen many children take up a new instrument or LAMDA and feedback so far is 100% positive!  If your child is keen to consider learning an instrument or taking LAMDA at school, please see the Music website for more information (link below) or get in touch with me for a chat about options.
