Young Voices 2020! (Hilary Crooks)

We had a fantastic day at The O2 Arena, taking part in the Young Voices concert last week. We joined with schools from all over the South East to form a choir of 8244 children (plus a few teachers too!), to perform the songs we have been learning over the past 6 months to a huge audience of parents. It was amazing to sing alongside professional singers and we also enjoyed the street dancing from Urban Strides. Here are a few photos from the day.

Composing in the style of Mayan music (Hilary Crooks)

Class Newton have developed their skills in composing this term. They have been listening to and appraising mayan music before composing their own version. They have showed control in playing a range of instruments including the recorder and flute, as well as making choices of other instruments based on their timbre. Each group worked on the structure of their composition and the results were very pleasing.

Lowry's amazing Drumming performance (Hilary Crooks)

Lowry performed their African Drumming composition in today's assembly. We were all amazed by their concentration and ability to remember such a complex piece, and also impressed that every child showed the confidence to have a turn at a mini-solo.
