5th class are currently getting ukulele lessons of the ukulele master that is Frankie! We are loving our Wednesday morning lessons with him!! We will be doing a concert for the school at  the end of the month to show the boys and girls what we have learnt.   ukulele    

Recently, the whole school learned a song and sang it together at assembly. We chose ‘I Lived’ by One Republic because the lyrics are so inspirational. It’s all about experiencing the good and the bad of life and is written by a father to his newborn son. We loved singing the song together and a special well done to our soloists – Casey, Patrick, Sophie, Toby, AJ, Kristina, Carl, Tristan, Finn, Lex, Adem, Ellie and Hayley.   I lived from St Peter's, Bray on Vimeo.  

Recently, in 2nd class, we have been exploring sound as part of our music lessons. We’re developing our performance skills, our listening and responding skills and our composing skills, using body percussion and our voices. One of our favourite songs at the moment is Boom-Chicka-Boom and we’ve been using it to explore the elements of music and different sounds that we can make with our voices. We recorded a version of Boom Chicka Boom using Sound Cloud! We also made a list of sounds that we can make with our bodies and our voices. We worked together as a whole-class activity to list... 

2nd Class have had great fun in Music class recently. We have learned new songs, used actions to help us to tell the ‘music story’ of songs, listened to different pieces of music without words to ‘get-us-thinking’ and also we have picked up new ‘music words’. We decided to record two of our favourite songs from the past few weeks. We hope you like them.
