School council decorate the tree

Our school council head down to St John's church to decorate our Christmas tree. This year we all decorated stars for decorations. We thought of 2 things we are grateful for (2 stars) and 1 thing we would like for the world (1 wish).

INFANT HARVEST ASSEMBLY

 

 

 

Despite failing technology we all enjoyed our harvest assembly.

 

We filled a table with donations for the Waterside Food Bank.

 

Rev Eldridge helped us think about caring for our EARTH, the need to  SHARE the food we have and remembering the people of our world who may still STARVE. All of which can be written using letters from the word HARVEST.

 

 

We all sang Harvest Rock and roll

 

 

 

 

 

Foundation Stage performed 'Dingle Dangle Scarecrow'.

 

 

 

Year 1 and 2 told us the story of the Little Red Hen,

speaking chorally.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone who came and supported us

and for the Food Bank donations.

Year 5/6 band members watch Ten Pieces film

Year 5/6 members of band were given the opportunity to watch a screening of the BBC Ten Pieces film at the Harbourlights Picturehouse. The film has been created to engage and inspire people across the UK to learn about, and recognise, ten specially chosen pieces of classical music. We learned the stories behind them and a little about the composers; all children had a favourite by the time the film was finished. Our next step is to learn to play specially arranged versions of some of the pieces in our own band; Beethoven, here we come!

Someone found an aptly named treat :) 

Relaxing (with some water) in the bar.

 As we had a little time to spare we chose to make use of the lounge.

 Making ourselves at home.

 The 'how many year 5/6 boys can you fit on one sofa' game.

 Outside in the sun.

 Quick look at the marina.

 Then time for the real treat! The film is available to watch here until the 2nd November. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04lyj10

On Friday two people came in to teach is all about Alcohol a the children found out new things we even learnt how to do a recovery position

We did sports activities with Ashley Bryan a decathlon athlete it was a very enjoyable morning for the school!!!

Praising Hands came to tell us all about cyber bullying. Can you remember what will help you and what you should do if someone is bullying you?

Be careful with what is sent over the internet.

What is sent stays 'forever'!

FESTIVAL ON THE FIELD 2014

What a fantastic day! So many great acts, lots of sun and our FANTASTIC band and choir.
Awesome photography by Glen Jevon.

 This makes me smile a lot - so many different instruments, all playing their part.

Our new xylophones very kindly donated by Noadswood Sports College (they didn't have a use for them). As you can see, we do!

 Flutes and percussion - one of our fab drummers adding an essential layer with a shaky egg. No drummer should ever be without one.

 Team clarinet. These girls have learned to transpose their own music as a clarinet is in Bb (for anyone into the technicalities of music). If not, then it's a very important skill needed when being a musician and I know plenty of adult musicians that find this hard!

 Top drumming. There are actually nine drummers in the band. They take it in turns on the kit, djembe drum, cajon, snare, toms, an array of percussive instruments and of course, the shaky egg.

 Such a lovely pic of the band - they were so 'together' and really sounded on top form :) We also had the bonus of two of New Forest Brass play with us (who were on after us); what music is all about, really, everyone joining in, having fun.

 Strings section

 Getting everyone to join in!

Some of the festival was extremely hard work.

 Balloons filled with helium were a hit.

 After less than a year playing the cello and already performing on stage. The smile says it all.

 Mr Vaughan's set with three Hythe students. And Mr Jevon!

 The choir singing on Mr Vaughan's own song 'Fear and Self Loathing in Las Vegas'. Check out soundcloud to hear the original recording.

 The choir showcasing some of their Royal Albert Hall songs.

So proud of these guys. They know they are good - and rightly so, because they have worked so hard to be at this level. Thanks to all who came and have supported music at Hythe Primary over the last year.
