Breakfast Belters!
We enjoyed working with SoundLincs, starting the day with singing together to promote mental wellbeing and have some fun!
Our Curriculum
Our exciting music curriculum is supported by specialists from Lincolnshire Music Service. Each year, we focus on these elements:
- Performing
- Exploring and composing
- Listening, reflecting and appraising
Children have the opportunity to learn the following instruments within lessons. Each year, existing knowledge is strengthened and extended.
| Foundation Stage | Introduction to percussion |
| Year 1 | Percussion |
| Year 2 | Percussion |
| Year 3 | Djembe |
| Year 4 | Glockenspiel |
| Year 5 | Ukulele |
| Year 6 | Brass and Woodwind |
We provide children with real-life experiences wherever possible and some of our pupils have been involved in the BBC's Ten Pieces concert at a regional theatre. We have also particpated in the Young Voices choirs on several occasions.
Working Together
Our curriculum is sequenced so that there is a progression in knowledge and repetition of key concepts. This supports children's recall and develops confidence.
Young Voices
Children in Key Stage 2 have opportunities to singing as part in the Young Voices concerts in Sheffield. Our singing club enjoyed rehearsing and performing as part of a choir of 5000!
Sharing our achievements
Children have opportunities to share their learning by performing and when possible, we invite families to share in these experiences.
