SPOTLIGHT on Foundation

I hope everybody has recovered from last week’s epic performance! It was utterly wonderful and all parents, friends and family who came to see I hope you were as blown away as me.

So this term Foundation have been doing some great work so I thought I would highlight the curriculum. they have been studying boomwhackers.

What are Boomwhackers?!

A boomwhacker is a lightweight, hollow, color-coded, plastic tube, tuned to a musical pitch by length. Boomwhackers are used as musical instruments in the percussion family. They are fantastic starter instruments and we are aiming to get here:

Well… maybe not quite however they are getting close! Foundation students have learned all about tempo and dynamics and can tell the difference between the notes. They are doing a fantastic job, please ask at home about what they have studied in Music because they will be sure to tell you!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone and enjoy the sunshine.
