• Sing your Heart out - Joint Schools Choir at Axminster Guildhall

  Thu 13 Jun 2024 Mrs Whitehorn

  Our KS2 School Choir had an amazing (very long!) day at the Guildhall in Axminster with a number of other local schools. They spent the day rehearsing, ready for the event in the afternoon, where parents and friends were invited to watch. It was an incredible day and the children were very proud of their achievements!

   

  With the joint schools' choir, they sang 'Jerusalem', 'Any Dream Will Do' and 'We are Children of the World'. Schools then performed individual pieces; Colyton Primary Academy sang Taylor Swift's 'Love Story'. Well done for all your hard work and dedication!

   

  Listen to their performance on the Music Curriculum page!
