We are very proud of our school choir.

Mr Froud from St Cuthbert's Church came into school today to tell us a story about asking for help when you need it. There was a song of course! We all enjoyed joining in and singing together as a school.

Our choir sang Christmas carols at Morrisons today. We had a big audience.

On our way there!

We had a special assembly today where we learnt about the French Horn, Oboe, Clarinet and Flute. We listened to some beautiful live music and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions. Our favourite instrument was the French Horn. Do you know that if it was unravelled it would stretch for 4 metres!

The children in Y2 have been learning about the composer Prokofiev. He was Russian, and he composed the music for a story called Peter and the Wolf. We enjoyed listening to the story on a 'record player' and then we drew the characters and the musical instruments that represented them in the story.
