Music at ETPS

At East Tilbury Primary School, we use Charanga as the basis for much of our music curriculum which introduces aspects of musical vocabulary (ask year 5 what acapella means), notation, composition and performance.



Across the school, last half term, we had year 2 learning a song called ‘Sparkle in the sun’ and learning what tempo and rhythm are, year 3 have been learning some tunes on the xylophones, year 4 and 6 learned classic pop songs such as Mamma Mia and Happy and year 5 were fully spooky with ‘Ghost Parade’.  

Nearer to Christmas, all year groups picked a festive favourite to sing and dance along to in order to video and post on the school Facebook page. Even the staff had a go! 
​

The spring term brings with it some showcase moments as the school choir head off to the 02 in January to take part in Young Voices 2024, and in July the school will be attending the Thurrock music festivals.
