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!

Dear World…!

What an exciting day it has been today in preparation for another exciting day next week! Next week years 3 and 4 will be travelling off to a professional recording studio to lay down our track! Alongside other schools in the trust, we have been writing a song about looking after our planet, and here is how it is going so far!

An Unexpected Journey 🗡🗻

The works of J.R.Tolkien to were brought to life today with the children of 4TE and 6CC engaging in a variety of activities linked to ‘The Hobbit’.

From rune message decoding to creating art based on the setting and characters from the novels, all enjoyed learning about the different aspects of the story, as well as listening to the audio book and using clips from the films for stimuli. One of the most popular activities of the day was to create your own archaic map for your own adventure story. Beautiful work!
