This week Crew Mcloughlin had their second guitar lesson and loved every minute! Our highlight was clapping along to our music instructor playing and singing ‘Sweet Caroline’. Maybe it will be one of us playing a tune on the guitar soon😬
Preparations for Young Voices will begin on Tuesday 1st November (3:00-4:00) for children in KS2. Please ensure that your child is signed up via ParentPay to secure their place. The club will be FREE to attend and further information about our Young Voices performance will be sent out in due course. This event is always such a great success and it would be fantastic if as many children as possible are able to attend our rehearsals weekly ready for our performance at Sheffield Arena in January 2023!
Below are the links for the children to use to continue to learn our songs for music whilst they are at home.

The children LOVED their music session today! We rocked out to the beat of some iconic tunes, looking the composure, beat and tone. We can’t wait for next week!
Today in music we have continued to look at making beats with our percussion instruments. We started off by working with a partner to create patterns and then repeat them back to one another. We then started to learn our new song ’I Wanna Be In A Band’.
This week we have started looking at Jazz music and how it was important during World War II. We identified the instruments used and began to learn the song ’We’ll Meet Again’, originally performed by Dame Vera Lynn. Keep an eye out for a sneak peek of our further practise of the song in the coming week!
In Year 1/2 we started to look at becoming musicians by being introduced to different percussion instruments. We started off by clapping and repeating patterns before then trying to repeat patterns using our percussion instruments. We had so much fun and loved hearing all the different sounds made by the instruments!
We started our musical learning journey this week by listening to and appraising a piece of music by composer Gustav Holst, that was created to represent the character of the planet Mars. We discussed the instruments used, the tempo and dynamics of the piece before thinking about how Holst used all these elements to portray the characteristics of war usually associated with Mars.
