#WhyMusicFestival23

We have been celebrating Sky Arts Access All Arts Week!

 

Nursery enjoyed joining Patrick from English National Opera

for a Spellcasting warm-up.

 

Key Stage One pupils drew pictures of their favourite place to be

and then composed a vocal or body percussion sound to represent it.

The rest of the class had to guess where there favourite place was

by listening to the sounds they performed.

Year Five have been studying BBC Ten Pieces as part of their Arts Award Discover.

They chose to perform part of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Horn Concerto no. 4

as  a whole class ensemble.

Thank you to Anna Davies for your recorder workshop with our Year Four pupils. 

It was great!

Chinese New Year - Year of the Rabbit - with a Dragon Parade.

Year Five have arranged the opening bars of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony,

considering the timbre of the instruments they were performing on.
