Woodwind
We've had a great two terms of exploring music through Woodwind Instruments. The whole of year 5 were given the opportunity to try out the Flute, Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon, Alto and tenor Saxophone. They were then given an instrument according to their preference to use in weekly lessons and to take home to practice. This opportunity is part of a small schools initiative with Lady Elizabeth Hastings, Ledston being one of three schools taking part. The hope is that all three schools will come together to perform as an Orchestra at the end of the school year.
The opportunity to learn and experience music in this way is unique to the project. Mrs Morgan the music teacher said that 'The year 5 pupils have been a joy to work with and have achieved a great deal in a short time. I have been particularly impressed with the number of musicianship skills they have gained: learning to count, play and follow the conductor at the same time is not easy. They have also learnt to play and read basic notation and have learnt extra responsibilities of playing in a band such as setting up and putting equipment away. The Smalls Schools Initiative is an excellent way to learn an instrument and to learn invaluable musical and transferable skills'.

Grandad's Island
In the afternoon, Reception, Y1 and Y2 went to Leeds Carriageworks theatre to see a production of Grandad's Island.
After the phenomenal success of The Storm Whale and On Sudden Hill, this new book by Benji Davies deals with the emotional topic of losing a grandparent.

A visit to Leeds Art Gallery
Today, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 went to Leeds art gallery for a workshop - All thanks to LEAP.
To begin with the children went in to a special room to view some of Leonardo da Vinci's work.
The children were asked to look closely at the work and to think of words to describe what they could see.
Then in groups, the children were asked to choose a word. Next, the children were asked to look throughout the gallery for pieces of art that they though represented their work.
Finally, the children produced pieces of digital art themselves - we are awaiting for these to be sent to us from the art gallery.
The children also got the opportunity to draw and display our own art.
