On the last day of the spring term every class in school was involved in our music assembly. It was a chance for pupils to listen to each other and hear what they had been learning in their music lessons throughout the term.
After band played us in with “Sweet Child o' Mine”, Year 5 started us off with performances of “Oh When the Saints” and “Tequila” to show that they had been learning to listen to each other and keep in time, even though lots of people were playing different parts.
During last term Year 6 had studied the pop group Abba and their music so that they could play “Honey, Honey” to us. That was followed by a piece of their choice – “What Makes you Beautiful” by One Direction.
Year 7 chose to play “Heart Skips a Beat” by Olly Murs, followed by “Three Little Birds” as they had been studying Bob Marley and reggae music. Andrew was brave enough to start this performance off with a guitar solo.
Year 8 ended the assembly with their choice of “Baby” by Justin Bieber (the boys let the girls choose this time!) and, after a topic on Film Music, performed the James Bond theme.
All pupils took part, not always playing on the same instrument and showed great talent and concentration, being able to work well in whatever group they were in. The music got better and better throughout the assembly and was an enjoyable way to end the term.
