Latin Jazz Day

Continuing the celebrations of Black History Month, our brass, percussion, recorder and guitar students worked alongside leading Latin instrumentalists to develop our understanding of Latin music and its African roots.

The day culminated in a performance for parents in the top hall and a video of this for those who could not attend will soon be on our vimeo site.

Bhangra dance and drum workshop

As part of Black History Month celebrations, children in Year 5 have been working alongside a drum teacher and Bhangra dance teacher to learn new drum and dance skills. Children had a chance to use dhol drums as well as the school's djembe drums. 

The children worked with the specialist teachers over a number of weeks, learning new skills and enjoying themselves immensely.Finally, they performed their music and dance to other classes in the school.
