On Wednesday this week Y5/6 went to the Early Music Centre for a Ten Pieces Inspiration Day. We had a fantastic time listening to music played live by the York St John Concert Band, watching the Ten Pieces film and taking part in a body percussion workshop! Some children were able to sit in with the band whilst they were playing, it did get quite loud but it was great fun!

Ask any of our Y5/6 children to show you their moves from Stomp!

We even made it on to the York Press website with photos and a video!

This week Y3/4 children from Miss Teale and Mrs Ekers’ class went to Willow House as part of the Musical Connections project which facilitates interactive music sessions in residential homes for the elderly and those who suffer with dementia. We all took part in singing carols, parachute games and even some festive dancing! It was heart-warming to see the smiles on the faces of both the children and residents and the happiness they brought just by being there. The children were fantastic and made us all really proud with their impeccable behaviour and friendliness with the residents. They have all made at least one new friend from the older generation! Thank you children!

We are looking forward to future ventures with Musical Connections and Willow House after Christmas.
