How do you play a classical piece with no instruments and no trained musicians?!
You create an ‘Air Orchestra’!
Following the fun of last year’s arts afternoon, we organised a musical competition between the 3 houses again. This year the group performance song was our school song ‘Wisdom Seekers’; the children had been learning it in their music lessons. Following that each house performed to Saint-Saëns Carnival of the animals Fossils music. Before the performance, the children listened to the music, identified the instruments, were organised into sections and practised!
Each house performed in front of our judges Mrs Towse and Miss Lydia. Children were scored on their musical diction when singing; organisation and interpretation of the music; were the instruments recognisable? and the house’s enthusiasm and enjoyment.
Musenga and Luano were joint winners with Kasompe in third place.
