Music
All children have class music lessons following a scheme which gives opportunities for singing, playing on pitched and un-pitched instruments, listening, improvising, composing and performing. Music lessons are designed to give children a variety of experiences, and cover a range of musical styles. We are lucky to have a designated music lodge which is well equipped with a range of instruments, and which allows children to explore music creatively in whole classes or smaller groups. Children are encouraged to develop their skills as practical musicians, so that everyone is participating. Children in years 3 and 4 are given the opportunity to develop their instrumental skills using glockenspiels. In year 5 and 6 children develop these skills further using keyboards.
