4H V ISIT BRITISH MUSEUM

Brampton BulletinPage 2

On Monday 14th May, 4H travelled to The British Museum toparticipate in their Music and ICT workshop. The session linkedback to the Year 4 topic Africa, and enabled the children to explorethe artefacts in the museum, use digital equipment and make musicall under one roof. The class got snappy-happy with their digitalcameras, looking at different masks and weaponry, and found outlots about celebrations within different African tribes.

Once back in the Samsung Digital Centre, the children used theirfindings to work in groups and create their own piece of celebrationmusic. They got to use their Djembe drums as they do in school, and also tried out using otherAfrican instruments too.

The children then had their pieces professionally recorded, and these are going to be sent back to

Brampton for us to use within our Music lessons. The class thoroughly enjoyed their trip and were,once again, a pleasure to take out of school; we had many compliments from members of the public

on how polite and well behaved the children were on the train and tube. Well done 4H!

Parents Comments

We were pleased to receive recently a lovely complimentary letter from Mr and Mrs Clarke,

parents to Joshua in 5B and Zachary in 3W. They wanted to congratulate Miss Fisher and

staff on the changes made over the last few years to make our school such a wonderful

place to learn. They wanted to thank Miss Bennett for her work in maintaining normality

during the distractions of building works and wished to commend Miss Wilson for theTeachers Gold Book for her inspirational teaching. They were very pleased with the quality

of outstanding work seen this year in 3W.

They were also very appreciative of the extra effort by teachers and teaching assistants

to organise well conceived, relevant and interesting school trips to inspire and educate

children. Finally the Family SEAL sessions were praised as thought provoking and

informative.

Many thanks to the Clarkes for their kind comments - we have a very hard working staff

and it is always great to have their efforts acknowledged with such positive feedback.
