LKS2 Science – what is sound?

We discovered that sound is a result of vibrations moving the particles around them when travelling through a medium such as a solid, a liquid or a gas. We were surprised to discover that there is no sound in the vacuum of space and amazed at how well our string telephones worked. We explored the […]

Musical March

March began with one of our pianists playing to the infants in assembly yesterday. The month is set to continue with exciting activities in each class’ music lessons and more live performances.

Instrumentalists Join Forces With Singers

Years 5 & 6 have boosted their class singing sessions by having instrumentalists playing along in the classroom. Adding violin, flute, clarinet and guitars has given a new dimension to the experience and makes a great sound as Year 6 parents discovered in a recent class performance.

Rockin’ at St Margaret’s

The first gig of 2022 found our four rock bands playing to enthusiastic parents and children.

Funky Friday Rockers treated us to a cool cover of Green Door and Dancing Monkeys played a great version […]

Christmas Performances Shine Brightly

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.
