Music fun in 5OP!

We have been really enjoying our music lessons so far! Out topic is ‘Africa’ and so far we’ve been learning a song called ‘Shosholoza’. It includes call and response and is the second national anthem of South Africa. The children have been fantastic with recalling information about the song – who sung it? Why did they create it? What does it mean?
Yesterday, we looked at three new terms: ostinato, mnemonics and polyrhythms. We had a go at playing our own polyrhythms using different instruments!

Well done 5OP!

Forest fun in 5OP!

Last week the children in 5OP had a brilliant time in Beech’s Base with Miss Lockwood and Miss Smith!
Here are some photos of what they got up to in the afternoon.

Beech’s Base REMINDER!

5OP – Wednesday 11th September 

5K – Friday 13th September 

5P – Wednesday 18th September (Next week).

Reminders for B.base: 

  • Wear the appropriate clothing – please check the weather forecast.
  • Bring a change of shoes/clothes.
  • Waterproof coat

Children can come into school in their clothing however, we would suggest bringing some spare clothes in case of heavy rainfall. We would also ask the children to come into school in clean shoes/trainers and they can change into old shoes/wellies before the session in the afternoon.

Many thanks,

Year 5

Say hello to our Worship Leader in 5OP!

We have used our British value of democracy this afternoon as we voted for our Worship leader in 5OP. All of the candidates were amazing and showed a great amount of courage to stand up in front of others with a pitch they created.

The chosen worship leader spoke about how compassionate she is and how she cares for others. Well done everyone involved!
