Music Assembly 2024

MUSIC ASSEMBLY -- JULY2024

 What an amazingly melodic assembly we were treated to on Friday brilliantly organised by Ms Forbes! The assembly opened with Oisin and Eisa confidently playing "I Got the Fiddle Blues" on the violin as the audience arrived. Following this, sisters Mamediarra and Awa welcomed the audience with a drumming demonstration, leading into a powerful performance of "High Hopes" by the drum club, who played some complex rhythms over a backing track.

 The Key Stage 1 & 2 choir then premiered "A Million Dreams" from The Greatest Showman. Despite initial nerves, the choir soon moved the audience with a rousing chorus accompanied by Makaton signing. The performances was highlighted by Year 1 pupil Sasha's solo on the final line. Next, the largest recorder group in South Grove's history, consisting of the entire Year 2, performed a samba using the notes C and A. For many, it was their first time playing in front of an audience, and they made us proud.

 The guitar and ukulele group sang and strummed "Brave" unsupported by adults demonstrating their dedication and practice. The assembly concluded with the premiere of Year 6's music video "Actions Speak Louder," a song written by Ms. Forbes to celebrate South Grove Primary as a candidate for a Gold Level Rights Respecting School. The video and song were recorded at Project Zero, a local youth service.

 The children's high-standard performances evoked tears, laughter, and joy, uniting our school through music.  Well done to all the children that took part and to

Ms Forbes who worked incredibly hard with all of them – we are so proud of them all!

 The parents and carers really loved the assembly and here’s what they had to say:
