Oh Happy Day!
We all enjoyed a team-building INSET day at the start of this half term. Thank you to Sharon(sharonstaceymusic) and Keith from Barnsley Music Hub for showing us how to sing in harmony and play along to the rhythm.

Meet our Exam-ready Pianists
This trio from the Year 4 Owls are well-prepared and ready to perform in their piano exams next week. You’ll be AMAZING!

Great Guitarist
This great guitarist is sounding absolutely fantastic in his lesson.
What a Roarsome Assembly!
The Foxes entertained a huge audience this week with their amazing class assembly. They shared facts about dinosaurs, writing, music and art work. Mr Lennon would have been very proud of their recorder performance, it was very special. Thank you to our #incrediblecommunity for all your support and well done to all The Year 2 Foxes.
Great News!
This hardworking musician has impressed Mr Dodd with her skill and progression over recent weeks. We are really proud!

There are cheery Friday morning violin melodies coming from the Music Room. You’re sounding great!
He’s Done the Double…
His bandmates are delighted for him as it is the 2nd time that Mr. Dodd has awarded him with the Birkwood Bandsperson of the Week. This time it is for sheer HARD WORK! He is putting in the hours of practice… and as we ALL know “Practice makes Mr Dodd happy!”
We love experimenting with different sounds!
The Daisies have had lots of fun experimenting with the different sounds our boom whackers can make, using body percussion. Thank you Mrs Allen for our wonderful resource!

This week’s bandperson is one of our amazing percussionists. He is most certainly impressing Mr Dodd and his whole brass team!
