The orchestra was at our school in the hall. They did loads of songs and talking as well. They were so good.

The orchestra was great. There was a drummer, violin, piano, guitar, trumpets, clarinets and saxophones. The orchestra was very loud but it was fabulous.

The stringed instruments were extremely good. The drum kit was very loud but wonderful. The woodwind instruments were fantastic. The tunes they played were great, especially the England tune. The guitar was my favourite instrument. The Simpsons Theme was absolutely great and exciting.

I loved the music including The Simpsons Movie. I absolutely loved the drummer. They played wonderful tunes. They had string family, wind family, percussion family. It was extremely good.

On Wednesday they were fantastic at the music. The violin made a noise that sounded like an ambulance. The best bit was when they played The Simpsons music. I liked the songs that they did. It was very loud but fantastic!

2012, Newsletters, SMASH, Spring Term, Whole schoolKirklees Music Event – Dance Update
Published Friday, February 10th 2012 | As you know we are taking part in a ‘Kirklees Musical Event’ at the Galpharm Stadium on Friday 29th June. There are going to be 50 schools taking part in the singing events, and of these 50 schools four have been chosen to take part in the dance aspect of the concert and we are one of the lucky schools to be selected.
We need 20 children from Year 3, 4 and 5 who have some dance ability, good co-ordination and enjoy performing in front of a 20,000 strong crowd! A choreographer will spend 2 full days in school teaching them the dance and then they will rehearse with children from the other schools on the day.
Many children have expressed an interest in taking part but we do need your permission. The cost is £4 per child towards the coach journey to the stadium. If your child is already in the singing group, they can still take part in the dance section.
Please let Mrs Earnshaw in the office know if your child is interested in taking part.

Here are our photos from the event.
Update: The Sign2Sing website states: “sign2sing 2012 was a huge success, well done to all of you! We are confident we have broken the record with approx. 130,000 participants!!!” When the official number is revealed, we will share it with you.
