Year 6 will be representing the school at the Walsall Junior Singing Festival on Friday. Here they are rehearsing 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley. We're sure they'll do a great job...

Year 5 had the opportunity to visit the Symphony Hall in Birmingham to watch a special performance by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. The children were fascinated by the whole experience; they enjoyed seeing such a wide range of instruments played by  musicians and listening to pieces of music by different composers with the theme of 'The Natural World.'🎵🎼🎻🎹🥁😀

Some of the pieces performed:

• Stravinksy The Firebird Suite: Infernal Dance
• Jackson Passacaglia
• Smetana Ma Vlast: Vltava
• Boulanger D'un Matin de Printemps
• Dvořák Symphony No.9 (New World): Scherzo
• Britten Peter Grimes: Four Sea Interludes, Op. 33a: Dawn

Our children really do have so much musical talent.

Last years, Year 6 worked so hard in their lessons with Miss Ridley that at the end of the year they took their Level 4 London College of Music Exam ( the equivalent to an AS level! 😁)
