Well Done St Mary's Boys!

Congratulations to the boys of St Mary's 5th Class. They graduated from Violin Bootcamp today, after taking 20 lessons in 10 days! Their teacher, Gillian, was so proud she even baked them a cake!



Here's a little taster of what they've been learning!

Busy Busy Busy!

It's all go as all three of our schools get started with a new part of 'Sing Out with Strings.' This term we'll be thinking about Story Telling. Each class will be reading a book together, and we'll use these stories to inspire us when we write our songs. So far, Roald Dahl has been the most popular choice. The BFG, Matilda and the Witches are all on our list! Each week we'll read together in our classes, chat about the stories, collect ideas for our songs and eventually put together our new compositions. The count down begins for our next concert on May 24th and we hope to see you there!
