During our morning assembly today the children were introduced to our new ‘Music of the Week’ initiative. A piece of music has been carefully selected for each week of the academic year and the music will be playing as children enter and leave assemblies throughout the week. The music has been selected from periods in history dating back to the Baroque period (approx 1600AD). Details of the name of the music and composer will be on display in the school hall all week and teachers also have access to the weekly poster and music so may also share and use the music within the classrooms. I will also aim to share the music and a link on the school website so that you can listen to and share the music at home with your child.
This week’s piece ‘Aquarium’ is was written by French composer Camille Saint-Saens in 1922 and is from his musical suite of fourteen movements, The Carnival of the Animals. You may recognise it as it has been used many times on television and in film.
