A History Of Sugar

As part of our new expedition Serious About Sugar, Passionate About People 3LG have been investigating the history of sugar and sweets. Starting in 1538 and going all the way up to modern day we constructed a timeline from the start of the sugar trade to the opening of iconic sweet factories in Doncaster.

And our new expedition is ……..

A Musical Masterpiece

As an end to Case Study Three, 3LG had a fabulous time this afternoon making music and playing instruments. We can now officially play Twinkle Twinkle on the glockenspiel! It has been so exciting playing around with tunes, tones and melodies over the last few weeks, cumulating in playing a song today.

Recording our charity single

Yesterday, LKS2 visited XP to record our verses of our beautiful and thought provoking charity single. As well as smashing the vocals we also had a tour of a professional recording studio. We had chance to look at the equipment needed to produce a song and even tried out some of the musical instruments too! Safe to say we need a little more practice before creating our own music!

Recording Artists

Yesterday LKS2 headed to XP to record our section of Dear World. We worked really hard, sang our hearts out and it paid off with the final recording sounding superb. We also got a tour of a professional recording studio, and had a talk all about the equiptment and work that goes into making the music we hear on the radio. To finish the day we even got to try out some of the instruments in the studio, and had particular fun with the drum set!
