As Musicians this week Islands took part in a workshop with Oxford Song. Each class had the opportunity to create lyrics and compose music to familiar songs- changing the lyrics to link to our topic Extreme Weather. This will be an ongoing project for the rest of this term, leading to a performance with another primary school before the end of term. 

The children were keen to show John what they had been busy creating this week and he was impressed with what they had created so far. During the workshop this afternoon, the children learnt a new song which was created by the children in KS1 at North Hinksey. Islands children are keen to add some musical instruments to their creation and showcase this like the stars that they are!
