Christmas Performances Shine Brightly

The closing days of term have seen three performances that our children are rightly proud of. Early Years acted and sung the Christmas story reflecting just how well they worked during rehearsals. KS1 entertained us with a mix of traditional and modern songs while acting their outdoor, heart warming nativity. KS2 concluded their 6 week […]

BLACKHEATH GOES GOSPEL IS BACK!

It is amazing to have Rose from Blackheath Halls back to introduce us to this year’s Blackheath Goes Gospel team. She was joined by Abe, our brilliant pianist and Sabrina, our choir leader. The children did almost literally raise the roof and seemed to have a fantastic time. We’re already looking forward to next week.

Summer of Soul

At the end of last half term, KS2 took part in a music quiz. They listened to a range of inspiring black musicians from the past and had to match them to their photos. Many of the songs played made it difficult to sit still and it wasn’t long before Teddy in Y3 broke the […]

Year 4 Music

Year 4 spent some time yesterday exploring music from around the world. We gave a special focus to Spain and Scotland as the class created their own music using traditional characteristics from these countries. Pictured here is a performance on Spanish guitars.

Year 5 Music

While some children have been singing in the Year 5 and 6 choir this half-term, the rest of Year 5 have been rocking out to Livin’ on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. Not only have we learned to sing the song but we’ve been playing the xylophone and glockenspiel along with it. Here they are […]

Ukuleles Are Back

Many of the treasured musical activities we had to pause during lockdown are now back, The sound of singing, ukuleles, recorders and our rock bands once again echo through the school. Here are some Year 4’s practising their ukulele skills.

Preschool afternoons!

The afternoon sessions are off to a cracking start. We learnt about 3D shapes, listened to a musician play the double bass and then dressed up and formed a band!

Farewell Year 6 🥲

It was lovely to be able to give our year 6 a worthy send off after such a difficult year. The church leavers service, with Miss Higgitt’s poignant words for each child and Rev Tim’s multitasking talents, was a fitting tribute to a wonderful year 6 class. The performance of Oliver was the icing on […]

Reception learn what a vinyl record is!

Today we looked at a vinyl record and spoke about what it is and how we need a “special player” for it… i understand some of you have these at home! I am unable to put the video on the blog but it is on Seesaw, so please check it out! I think our guesses […]

Opera in Year 5

Year 5 got a taste of opera this afternoon. Blackheath Halls came to work with us and let us know about a community opera opportunity going on this summer, which children from Y5 have a letter about. If your child is interested in being involved, please respond ASAP as places are filling fast.
