On Friday, Year 5 put on the most spectacular Jazz performance. It was a culmination of an intense 5 day project working with the supremely talented Pete Letanka, learning about the fundamentals of music through Jazz. The children of Year 5, in such a short period of time learnt to play instruments, read music, write and sing songs! On the day of the performance, the children performed what they had been working on accompanied by a Pete and his band! It was a great experience and well done to everyone involved!

There were stories read in Spanish (Sofia’s mum), a traditional Italian tale (Ms Jamois), The Hungry Caterpillar in Japanese (Rico and Ellie’s mum) and a French story (Ms Lucile).
