Chilcote Christmas concert

On Tuesday 17th December, our school gathered together to enjoy listening to our school orchestra, string chamber group and brass band. Some children also played solo or group performances and our new string players played for us- a great achievement as they have only been playing since September.
Well done everyone on your super performances, all your practice this term was worth it as we all enjoyed listening to your high quality playing.
A big thank you also to Mr Fisher- our fantastic brass teacher and Miss Hobbs- our amazing string teacher- and conductor of the orchestra and string chamber group.

Year 2 at Peckwood

Last week, lots of Year Two children went on their first ever residential at Peckwood near Alvechurch. We were very lucky to have the sun shining the whole time we were there and we spent most of our time outside playing with each other, exploring the forest and practising the skills we learnt at Forest School.

We worked in teams to collect materials and create dens for our teddy bears.

In the evening, we enjoyed our yummy roast dinner, cooked by Mr Cross, and then had a campfire and talent show. We toasted marshmallows and ate tasty hot dogs before we went on a night walk through the forest.

We spent lots of time playing with each other and our teachers were very impressed with how well we all got on. 

Well done to all the children for being very well behaved. We had a wonderful time!

Summer concerts

On Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd May, we held our annual school summer concerts during which our fantastic musicians performed for their families. 

On Monday, Infant Choir and Junior choir sang a variety of different songs, and our recorder group and our guitarists performed to an enthusiastic audience. 

On Tuesday, our Orchestra, String sextet and brass band all played as well as our violin, viola and cello players who performed solos and in small groups. Our brass solos and groups were performed by cornets, trumpets, french horns and our solo trombonist and solo euphonium player. We also enjoyed lively performances from our dhol druming groups.

Both evenings were a real treat for both audiences and the children performed to a high standard, showing the progress they had all made this year. 

Thank you to all our families who have supported the children in their practice all year.

A big thank you to our dedicated peripatetic music teachers-Miss Hobbs, Mr Fisher, Mr Chamberlain, Mr Singh and Mrs Mulenga who inspire us all each week.
