Music in 4OP!

This morning, we went into the hall to use the musical instruments to create a soundscape. We’ve looked at many elements to music including the orchestra and instruments we may see in one. The challenge we had was to create a soundscape inspired by a piece of art.

What an amazing job all of the groups did! The team work and listening was exceptional and I was very proud of them all for being so creative.

Well done 4OP!

 

Year 4 Performance WEDNESDAY!

We have been communicating for several weeks a limit on the audience to two per child, regardless of their age.  Please can we ask for your support in adhering to this for the safety and comfort of all.

REMINDERS:

WEDNESDAY 13TH DECEMBER: 6pm YEAR 4

Please remember:

*Strictly two audience members per child (any siblings or babies etc will count as one audience member).  We will ask you to sign in on arrival.  Please don’t place us in the uncomfortable position of having to ask someone to leave.

*We ask that you arrive through the front security gate: you will be directed to bring your child to the Year 3 classrooms and then to make your way to the hall.

*The security gate will open no earlier than 5.30pm.

*Photographs in this performance:

I know as parents you may wish to take photos of your child in their Christmas performance.  Please note that some children, for a whole range of reasons, do not have consent for their photograph to be taken.

Please can I therefore ask that if you take photographs you try to do so only of your own child and that you do not post any photographs from this performance on social media.

Thank you for your support, we are looking forward to these events.

Homework Friday 8th – Wed 13th December
