Music Tuition

MUSIC TUITION FROM SEPTEMBER 2010

Dear Parents

Pupils who will be in years three and four in September will have the opportunity to learn to play the flute for the whole of the academic year which will be funded by the school.

These pupils will also have the opportunity to learn the violin but there will be a charge for these additional sessions. Numbers will be limited as priority will be given to those pupils who will then be in years 5 and 6 who are currently having lessons. The lessons will be 20 minutes long and will take place weekly. A whole term of lessons will cost £26.00. Parents will need to commit for one term but all musical instruments will be loaned free of charge as part of this agreement for as long as they decide to take lessons.

For those pupils currently in years 4 and 5 who wish to continue, or take up music tuition in September, please complete the form below.

This is a great opportunity and we hope your child can take part. Places will be confirmed at the end of this term and payment will be due the first week back in September.

A reminder to all current year 6 pupils – please ensure you have your instrument in school by to be returned to County.



Please return to the school office by Monday 5th July.

My child ____________________________ currently in year ___________ would be interested in taking up violin / flute or continuing with violin / flute* lessons. I understand that these lessons will incur a fee or £26.00 per term for each instrument.
* Please delete as appropriate and indicate clearly which instrument you are selecting.

My child no longer wishes to continue with music tuition. I confirm I will return the instrument to school by Friday 9th July 2010.

Army Helmets

The topic in class 2 is 'Fight, Fight, Fight' which is looking at the different wars throughout time. To get the children in the 'right place' they have made 'Time Travelling Helmets'. These have been made by covering a balloon in paper mache, waiting for it to dry and then painting it in their own design. Once the paint was dry the bottom part of the balloon was cut off leaving a fabulous bowl shape. Now everytime the children need to go' back in time' they place their helmets on. All the children love this way of travelling in time.

Class 2 go to Norwich Castle

Class 2 had a very successful trip to Norwich Castle in May. They spent the day learning about the history of the castle, Romans and Egyptians ready for their next class project. The children had the opportunity to visit the dungeons in the castle and soon realised it would not be a nice place to be.
"I liked the shop because there was lots of different things there and I bought four crystals to share with my family".
"I liked the room we went in at the end. It reminded me of the hall in the Harry Potter films. It had secret rooms at the top when you went up the stairs to the large balcony, one of the best days ever".
These were a couple of the comments from Henry and Oliver.
