In music we have been using a piece of music called Nautilus by Anna Meredith, to develop our understanding of these key words: Pitch: the highness or lowness of a note. Tempo: beat – a continuous steady pulse that occurs in music. This could be compared to a ticking clock or […]

Many children chose to run more than the target- we were so proud to see them challenging themselves; displaying perseverance, team work and courage. Thank you for your support towards this fantastic charity.
