Fishergate is Famous!
As you may already know, Y3/4 children in Miss Teale and Mrs Ekers’ class have a link with Willow House through the Musical Connections project. Every term we take part in a music workshop with residents from Willow House care home around a topic we are covering in school. This intergenerational work has shown to have real benefits for both children and residents.
Have you ever wondered how you can get a sneaky peak of what we do in our sessions? Well, now you can! This video features children from Fishergate and other York schools taking part in workshops and talks about the benefits for everybody involved in intergenerational work through the Musical Connections project. We would love it if you took a look at our fantastic children in action!

Music Assembly
On Thursday we had our first curriculum music assembly of the academic year. This is where all KS1 and KS2 get to perform the song they have been learning in their curriculum music lessons. The assembly started with the KS1 children’s rousing performance of ‘Hey You’, a hip- hop song written for young children by Joanna Mangona.
This was followed by the Y3/ 4 children who chilled us all out by singing ‘Three Little Birds’ , the classic reggae hit by Bob Marley. All 90 children sang and performed actions for the song they had been working hard on whilst learning about reggae music as a genre in itself.
Finally, the Y5/6 children raised the roof with ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey, a rapturous finale to a fantastic assembly.
All children took part in this wonderful assembly which involved both singing and instrumental playing. At Fishergate we arrange these inclusive music assemblies to celebrate what children in school have been learning in their curriculum music lessons as part of our music vision.
Thank you to all parents and carers who came along to the assembly and to Liz Spain, Kathryn Fenwick and Andrea Walton for their hard work teaching the children music this half term.

A Roaring Success!
At the end of the Easter term, Y3/4 put on a fantastic performance of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’.
The children sang, danced and really wowed the audience with their talents! The Y4 children learned so many lines and impressed us all by projecting their voices across such a big hall. Dancing talent was abundant in Y3; we have never seen such creative moves, all choreographed by Mrs Ekers from the children’s ideas. Thank you to everybody who helped make the performance such a roaring success. A special thank you to Rachel Reeves for providing so many great props, including the most amazing lamppost!

Spring-ing in to Willow House!
This week the children from Miss Teale and Mrs Ekers’ class visited their friends at Willow House as part of the Musical Connections project. The theme of the workshop was ‘Spring, with a Little bit of Lion’ to tie in with our school production of ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’.
We dressed up for the sunshine and even made our own compositions using our own bodies based on different animals. One of our favourite parts was the clapping game that we all took part in with residents. This brought lots of smiles to lots of faces, both young and old. We all feel really privileged to work with the residents of Willow House as part of this exciting project!
