Performing Arts
Proud to Perform
Each year our Year 6 children perform what is always a fantastic piece of musical theatre, with the children singing both collectively and sometimes solo – this musical theatre sees the children at their dramatic best and gives them the confidence to perform before an audience.
The infants perform their nativity musical each year and always carry it off with great style.
We hold regular ‘Class Assemblies’ in our Junior Hall which parents are always invited to - these give the children a frequent chance to practice their performance skills and to sing with control and confidence.
Each year, the classes take part in a Poetry Recital where they recite a lengthy poem complete with actions for their parents.
A Chance to Dance
In addition to the specialist Sports Coach, we also have a specialist dance teacher who comes to us for two terms a year, helping the children to express themselves to music, and this always culminates in a performance for parents – this always proves very popular!
Music Tuition & Performance
Each year, the many children learning an instrument perform for their parents and the rest of the school in a Musicians’ Celebration Assembly.
Our weekly junior choir club is enthusiastically attended in very large numbers, with the choir performing for audiences throughout the year, including at the annual Young Voices evening concert in Birmingham with thousands of other primary age children from across the country.
Our music provision at Jubilee Wood is supported by a specialist music teacher who teaches all year groups for their weekly music lessons. Whole class lessons are taught for a range of instruments from Years 2 to 6 and the children often perform these instruments as part of Class Assemblies:
- Ocarina
- Recorder
- Ukelele
- Keyboards
- Guitar
Many of our children also have one-to-one weekly music lessons in violin and guitar.
Music for the mind
Weekly singing assemblies are very much enjoyed by the children, allowing them to sing as part of a supportive and caring community, enhancing good mental health and wellbeing.
