Year 6 visited West Boldon Lodge to listen and join in with the local South Tyneside band, Different Voices. It was an amazing opportunity for pupils to listen to a live band and discuss instruments and see and hear them being played by talented musicians. Many of us had a brilliant sing along and dance and thoroughly enjoyed our music trip. We were also given the opportunity to explore the wooded area and take part in a bug hunt as well as toast marshmallows on an open fire. It was a wonderful morning.
The children enjoyed a session with Mr O during the day.
The whole school enjoyed a fabulous assembly led by Mr. O, the drumming teacher. He talked about the drums he had brought with him and explained where they came from. He taught everyone to chant a rhythm, stamping their feet to certain beats. Some lucky children were also chosen to play the drums, while everyone else counted the rhythm. We all had a great time.
On Thursday 11th January, we were visited by Will from a group called Rocksteady. He taught us about the various musical instruments such as an electric guitar, bass guitar, keyboard and drumkit that make up a band and we listened carefully to the different sounds they made. We enjoyed singing and dancing to various songs that Will sang and played.
On Wednesday 5th July, choir took part in the Big Sing at the Sage. We had a great time and loved performing the songs that we had practised with a live band.
We went to West Boldon Lodge to sing-a-long with a live band as part of South Tyneside’s ‘Different Voices’ project. Before the band’s performance, we sat around a campfire and toasted marshmallows. We also made a name necklace using natural materials.
Choir enjoyed performing Christmas carols and songs for parents. We sang beautifully and everyone felt very festive.
