An Evening of Music!

12th June 2026R King

Our amazing choir went over to Hebburn Comprehensive school yesterday evening to take part in a concert to gather schools together for a night of performing. They have worked so hard to work together to get their songs perfected and that they did! Last night, I witnessed courage, bravery and beautiful singing from every child that took part, all of their hard work paid off! Myself and Miss Lugg, as well as everybody within school are very proud of them.

It was lovely to see so many talented children from other schools taking part, from orchestra’s to another school choir. We even had a performance from Hebburn Comp’s resident DJ’s!

Don’t forget our Singing Sensations show is on Monday 6th July, when our choir will be putting on their very own show for anybody who wishes to attend. Tickets are available via ParentPay or the school office if you do not have access to this.

African music composers

12th June 2026L Chisholm

As part of our Learning Means The World theme ‘Going Wild’ we have been looking at various pieces of African music.  We found where Africa is and what sort of music is popular in African culture.  We looked at the tempo, instruments used and how the music made us feel.  We then worked as a team to compose our own African music.

Call and response in Music

10th March 2026L Chisholm

This year year 2 are looking at songs with a call and response structure.  This involves using listening skills to hear when it’s our turn to sing and responding to what we have heard.  Our favourite call and response song at the minute is ‘Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?’ As you can probably see we are very animated in our calling and responding!

Year 2 are beat masters!

6th January 2026L Chisholm

We have started our music lessons with Mr. O and we have been looking at quarter and eighth beats.  We kept the rhythm and beat going and stayed away form the naughty beat in our competition.  We have some great skills at keeping time and listening for the different rhythms.

Music makers in year 2

3rd October 2025L Chisholm

We have been looking at Jingles and how we can keep the pulse of the music.  We have loved learning about echo and call and repeat music and we are able to talk about the difference between them.  We then added some instruments and actions to our songs to keep the beat and explain what the vocals were telling us.
