The St Cecilia Autumn Music Concert with the choir, guitar group and string group on Thursday evening was a resounding success. The children confidently performed and showed us just how talented they all are!!
On Thursday Years 5 and 6 performed music compositions that they had been working on in class. Year 5’s work was based on “Mars” from the Planet Suite by Gustav Holst. They had also listened to “Clair de Lune” by Debussy and one group chose to show their work on that piece. Year 6 have been studying “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Edvard Greig and had composed their own versions. It was lovely to hear their pieces and see how well they worked together in small groups.
The School Choir gave a marvellous performance at the above event. Mrs Phillips was so proud of them! Please see the lovely photos attached taken on the night. Well done to all of you.
On Wednesday, a large number of children from Year 5 performed on a variety of instruments for the entertainment of their parents and the whole school. It was wonderful to see how confidently they played.
Twenty six choir members from Years 5 and 6 went to the Parish Centre to visit the Dementia Café today. They entertained everyone with their beautiful Christmas Carol sing-a-long!
What a wonderful concert, thank you to all the musicians and soloists who worked so hard. Well done to all of you!
Thank you Years 4 and 5 for a beautiful carol concert.
We held a tea dance for the people who attend the Memory Lane Café (Dementia Club). The choir and instrumentalists entertained everyone with music and songs from bygone eras. Thank you to Ms Phillips, Mrs O’Shea & Mrs Ryan for organising it and thank you to the parents and staff who helped make this event […]
The choir performed at the O2 together with 8,000 other children. They sung some of the 33 songs they had learnt at assembly on Thursday 1st February and really wowed everyone with the huge amount of words they had learnt. The singing was as fabulous as ever and we all really enjoyed their performance. We hope the parents enjoyed the concert too.
