Word of the Week..........

This week's Word of the Week was....

Determination - Making a decision to do something well, and seeing it through, even when it's not easy!

We talked about the different kinds of people who have determination - olympic athletes, students studying for exams, doctors, teachers. And we thought about how we need determination in music. It's not always easy learning or writing a new piece of music, but we work together and have determination to see it through. One great example of this is Only Men Aloud's version of 'What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor?'
Even though it's quite a simple song, their version is really complicated! You can tell that they worked really hard to make it sound so good!

Our song of the week is 'The Sea Tragedy,' a ballad written by 6th class in St Mary's Boys. It's a great song, and everyone is really enjoying learning it!
