The children really enjoyed doing a bit of body percussion. They learned lots of different moves to each piece of music and then keeping it to the rhythm.

KS1 Enjoys a Football-Themed Lunch!
Today, our KS1 children enjoyed a fantastic football-themed lunch as we celebrated England’s first game taking place tonight!
The dining hall was filled with excitement as pupils tucked into a special menu inspired by the beautiful game. Football anthems played throughout lunchtime, creating a fun and lively atmosphere, and many of the children couldn’t resist getting up for a dance with their friends. There was lots of singing, smiling and excitement as everyone got into the football spirit.
It was wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the occasion together. We hope everyone enjoys watching the match tonight and joins us in cheering on England.
Come on England!
Learning about the pentatonic scale in music
Over the past few weeks in music, we have been learning the song, ‘I’ve been to Harlem”, thinking about the shape of the tune and using our voices to show this. We’ve spent time learning the lyrics and the tune, and today, we have moved on to creating an accompaniment using the pentatonic scale on the glockenspiel. We used the 5 notes – F, G, A, D and C – to create note clusters and we began practising playing along to the song.
Music lessons in Crew Gray
In Crew Gray, we have started learning how to play the guitar! We are excited to continue developing this new skill and are already making fantastic progress, watch this space…
Phonics play
During the lead up to phonics the children will be mastering the foundational skills needed to learn their sounds. During this lesson the children are learning all about the sounds around them, tapping out the rhythmic patterns they can hear in nursery songs, and practicing how to Fred some simple cvc words with a touch of musical fun. They were also amazing at matching the sound level from quite to loud well done crew Frost!
Guitar Lesson.
Today in our second guitar lesson, we had a wonderful time learning new notes and practicing together. We also enjoyed singing along, which made the lesson fun and lively!
Squiggle While You Wiggle!
This week crew Frost have been introduced to the early writing programme Squiggle While You Wiggle, this programme offers the first steps to build their fine and gross motor movements. The programme also encourages mark making with meaning whilst incorporating dance, uses of materials, and just lots of fun! We can not wait to see what fine motor skills will develop over the next few weeks.
Guitar Showcase
Wow! Wow! Wow! What an AMAZING guitar showcase with Year 5 and 6 this morning. It was a privilege to be able to watch the children show off everything they have learned in their guitar sessions with Mr Smith this year. Thank you to all the parents that attended and joined in with some of the tricky moves!
Bob Marley Sing-A-Long
At the end of last week, Crew Hamill had lots of fun listening to the Bob Marley sing a long in celebration of his 80th Birthday. We loved listening to all of his songs!
Bob Marley is 80!
On Friday, we celebrated the birthday of Bob Marley by singing a melody of his songs. What a wonderful way to start the day. It was lovely to see the children singing along and some of them starting to move with the music.
