Please enjoy a celebration of learning in Year Five - learning that builds upon the music experiences throughout school. By clicking on the notes below, you will be able to gain an insight into just a few of the many rich opportunities that the children have taken part in. Further examples will be added each half term. Please see the newsletter for more details about music learning in school and the community.

The children in Year Four have enjoyed a busy year of music. A highlight was working alongside Manchester Camerata to compose the finale piece for an interschool theatre concert.

Create with Camerata

by The Music Partnership

Year Four have thoroughly enjoyed their opportunity to work with members of the Manchester Camerata in order to compose and perform their own song.
