KS2 Choir Update! Following their performance to the whole school last term, Mrs Wright was absolutely overwhelmed by the number of new children asking to join the choir! Given that the Music Room isn't big enough to hold more than 40 children safely, choir has now been split into two parts - Years 3 / 4 and Years 5 / 6. The children will rehearse separately but come together to perform to an audience. Last Tuesday, "Harmony" (the Year 5 / 6 children) enjoyed their first rehearsal of the term. As you can see from the pictures, a lot of fun was had by all! Mrs Wright, Mrs Daffin and Mrs Turner are looking forward to rehearsing with "Melody" (the Year 3 / 4 children) after school today.

Musician of the Month! Hans Zimmer's music is certainly capturing our imaginations! Film music is so important and we have really enjoyed finding out more about this prolific composer. This week, we will be listening to a piece of music that Zimmer composed for the film The Da Vinci Code. We hope you enjoy listening, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xsP3u-CVO4&list=RD3xsP3u-CVO4&start_radio=1

To kick off their new topic, Year 4 swapped their school jumpers for tunics and armour as they transformed their classroom into Ancient Rome. The effort put into the costumes was incrediblewe had everything from powerful Emperors and Empresses to brave gladiators and soldiers! The children mastered the art of ancient counting, decoding numbers and solving puzzles using Roman numerals. During their SPAG session, they practised their writing skills on "ancient" scrolls. The children also drew inspiration from Roman tiled floors, using patience and creativity to design their own intricate mosaic patterns. It was a fantastic day of hands-on learning that truly brought history to life. A huge thank you to all the parents and carers for your help with the brilliant costumes!
