A Spotlight On Music

Music Concert 

Our talented singers and musicians performed brilliantly during our annual Music Concert this week. Audiences were wowed by the range of instruments played by the children and amazed when most played their pieces from memory without a piece of music in sight! Our choir sang and danced with great enthusiasm and gusto!

Well done to all those who took part and a big thank you to all those parents who have supported their children throughout the year. 

A Professional Musician Entertainers Us All

The whole school was super excited about the Live Music Assembly today. The children listen to the recorder, the oboe and the cor anglais being played by a fabulous musician, Julie. Most children had not seen or heard these instruments from the woodwind family before. Julie spoke to the children about each instrument and about her life as a professional musician. 

Christmas is Here                                                                                                                          The eagerly awaited performances of Wriggly Nativity delighted parents and families alike in December. The children looked marvelous in their costumes and impressed everyone with their confident acting and enthusiastic singing. 

A Musical Treat                                                                                                                              Well done to Pearl Class who took part in the Calne Music and Arts Festival at Kingsbury Green Academy. They delighted the audience with their performance of 'My Own Home' from The Jungle Book and also performed Love is an Open Door and Truly Scrumptious with children from primary schools across Calne. 

It's Concert Time                                                                                                                      Children from across the school performed to staff, peers, family and friends in our annual Music Concerts last week. Whilst some of our children perform regularly, some were performing for the first time and although a little nervous delighted the audiences with music from familiar film tunes, traditional melodies to pop music. Well done to all those who took part.

Year 5 and Year 6 performed their production of Robin Hood and the Sherwood Hoodies to packed audiences this week. The  greatly anticipated event was a culmination of hard work and dedicated practice. Congratulations to all those who took part!

We were delighted to welcome the fabulous opera singer Bethan Dudley Fryar to Cherhill on Friday. She gave a great singing workshop to our Year 3 children, they learnt some singing techniques, a couple of new songs and had lots of fun!  Thank you Bethan for coming to Cherhill School. 

Put on Your Dancing Shoes!

The school hall was rocking and both staff and pupils alike were singing and dancing when Ultimate Tuition gave a live performance at Cherhill this week! The drum and guitar trio played music from across genres including a sea shanty, pop, techno and reggae. 

After the performance Year 6 took part in a music workshop. They learnt to play the guitar riff to Smoke on the Water or played the groove on the drums.  A great time was had by all.
