Learning the key vocabulary within music - Year 3 and 4
A wonderful day was had for our whole school music day. Local band 'Toad Patrol' came to kick off proceedings with a fabulous half an hour concert which was thoroughly enjoyed by both children and staff. Throughout the day we had beatboxing workshops, courtesy of JWD Beatboxing and a singing workshop from Georgie of Danceworks. Each class focused on a different decade or genre of music and it was wonderful to see (and hear!) the buzz around the school.
The children in KS1 have been learning to play the recorder alongside the song they have been learning.
Community Concert involving pupils from Bruton Primary School
Last Sunday, Bruton Primary pupils combined with children from local Prep Schools and St Mary’s Children’s Choir formed a children’s choir at the Community Choral Concert held in the King’s Bruton Memorial Hall. The Children’s Choir supported Bruton Choral Society and King’s Bruton Choir performing Music from Freedom, composed by Alexander L’Estrange who was there accompanying with his professional band. It was a hugely uplifting and memorable event and the Bruton Primary singers loved the experience and were a credit to the School.

We were treated to a showcase from the Thursday orchestra club. They played us a couple of songs and led us all in a sing-a-long. We loved seeing the children playing different instruments and exuding talent and confidence in front of the school. A big thank you to Mrs Seona Pritchard who leads the orchestra club.
