This morning, we started our crew with some dancing and singing:)We loved a skeleton dance and we named the parts of our body.Then we created a colourful body artwork and used some words to describe how we are feeling today.

A huge thank you to Lewis’ dad who came in and performed for us. The children absolutely loved the electric guitar! 🎸 I think we have some future rockstars in year one and two!

This afternoon, as part of our music case study, we have been lucky enough to give the children the most incredible experience. We have had a visit from one of our fantastic parents, Mr Lamb – who just so happens to be a very talented Opera Singer.
He shared with the children his life as a singer, taught us some vocal exercises, talked about singing all over the world and performed a piece from Carmen for us.
The children and staff are feeling very lucky to have had such a magical experience as part of our expedition.

This week we have gone for the famous composer, John Williams. We have picked five songs for our play list – but we think as you look at home you will find hundreds more that we could have used!
Enjoy, Mrs Parsons xx

We have been learning about shapes in Maths this week. In a silent conversation the children listed their examples of the 2d shapes that they can see in our classroom and then we shared our ideas in ‘popcorn’. We also worked hard with our writing and created some beautiful pieces of work.
This week we have moved onto reggae music and we are enjoying music from Bob Marley!
Happy listening,
Mrs Parsons xx
Today, we were really lucky, Geoff and Dave came to perform for us. We really enjoyed experiencing live music. We even got to join in and become musicians – we sang a Beatles song!
As I’m sure the children have told you – as part of this expedition, one of our ongoing case studies is going to be Music. To help us ensure the children are exposed to a wide range of musicians and genres, both past and present, we are going to be having a musician of the week.
We will be listening to music from the artist/s each morning as the children enter the classroom and we will be learning more about the artist as the week goes on.
Each week we will add a playlist to our website and ClassDojo pages, this will enable you to share in the Musician of the Week and listen along at home too!
We had a great time this morning dancing around the classroom to our first musician/s – Abba!
Enjoy,
Mrs Parsons xxx
