Our Union Chapel Performance

The Orchestra and Chamber Choir enjoyed their performance at the Music For Youth festival at The Union Chapel yesterday. During Orchestra we asked the children how they thought the performance went, this is what they said...

"I was proud to play an amazing piece of music in front of other schools and professional musicians"

"I was really excited to play in such a big venue and we did a really good job"

"I thought about the music and not the people watching"

"It was scary because people were looking at us, but fun because we did well and everyone was pleased."

"I enjoyed listening to the other groups"

Year 2 and the London Symphony Orchestra to the rescue!

On Tuesday 29th February all of the children from Year 2 will be taking part in a concert at the Barbican Centre. They will be singing along with the London Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Sir Scallywag and the Golden Underpants. This is an adaptation of the picture book by Giles Andreae and Korky Paul (of Winnie the Witch fame), with music specially composed by Paul Rissman. Paul will be conducting the concert on the 29th and we are looking forward to meeting him. The children will be doing more Sir Scallywag-based activities during literacy lessons in the first week back after half term. Watch out for the knights around school!
