Year 1 assembly was about Benjamin Britten. He was born 106 years ago. He wrote an opera called Noyes Fludde so, Y1 wore animal masks and acted the part where the animals went into the ark, singing Kyrie Eleison which means “God have mercy” in Latin. The teachers had a surprise for all the children. Miss Catherine taught the teachers a song about a vio- lin, clarinet, kettle drum a horn and a trumpet. They sang the parts separtely and then put it all together. We all loved the performan- ce. “The Sorcerers Apprentice Nursery played percussion instruments and dressed up as magicians and brooms.They acted and danced to the music and perfomed for Y5R.They all had a great time! Year 2 learnt about Edward Grieg. They sang a song ca- lled “In the Hall of the Moun- tain King”, a song from the play Peer Gynt. They learnt the story of Peer Gynt and played along with the song using percussion instruments. Reception did a carnival of animals dance they had : elephants, swans, birds, fish, lions, dinosaur hunters. They made masks of their animal. Editor: Leon Year 6
The Classical Music day
was a huge success. We
started with 2 different
surprises. Firstly, there
was an assembly by Y6
about the different musi-
cal instrument families.
They also spoke about
the composer Benjamin
Britten. Some musicians
visited: a trumpetist, cel-
list and a clarinetist. The
musicians played some
pieces of music. Later
there were further activi-

Once a week we watch a class assembly in the gym. Chil-
dren talk to us about what they’ve been learning in their class
or about a topic they’ve done.
Miss Helen often gives us certificates (which is exciting) and
notices about new rules. Sometimes other teachers like Mr.
Altuna talk to us about sports or Miss Laura tells us about extra
-curricular clubs at school.
This term we have had many fantastic assemblies performed
by the different classes:

In Drama Club we have rehearsed and then performed a
play by Charles Dickens called A Christmas Carol, to show to
the primary children and to our parents just before Christmas.
Drama club helps us to not be frightened or nervous when
we are on stage preforming for others. Lots of children from
Year 1 to Year 6 come to Drama and we all learn to work
together. It also helps children who are shy to talk on stage,
and it helps us to improve our pronunciation.
We did a ques-
tionnaire and we
got different an-
swers from drama
club children.
These are their
different answers:
Patricia P. Y6: My favourite
play that we have done was

Manuela Y1: I really like dra-
ma and I want to be a dra-
ma teacher like my mother.

We had a magnificent trip to Córdoba and Granada from
the 24th to the 26th of October. We went with Mr Alejandro,
Mr Ian and two monitors (Irene and Sergio). We went there so
that we could learn more about al–Ándalus and to learn
about the Islamic culture. It also helped us understand more
about the past and how they lived.
First day (24th October):
At 8:30 am we all met up at Atocha station to go to Córdo-
ba by AVE. Once we got there we went to the Mosque –
Cathedral that had lots of different types of designs and
arches. It was really beautiful, and it was worth the visit be-
cause it looked so much better in real life than in photos!
Later we walked around the Jewish Quarter with our guide
Walada, who was a real expert in the area around the cen-
tre of Córdoba, with its super narrow streets and their peculi-
arities.
Finally we got to the hotel and sorted the rooms out, ending
our day with a lovely dinner and some funny games before
going to bed.
Second day (25th October):
As soon as we finished a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we
took the bus to Granada to see the Albaicín and visit the
fabulous Alhambra. First we started with a tour with a guide
around the centre, seeing the beautiful streets and facades
of Granada.
Then we arrived to the Alhambra, one of the most beautiful
places in our country. The guide got all of our attention with
the way he explained everything to us about those old times.
We were so impressed with the splendour of everything in
there: buildings, gar-
dens, decoration,
fountains …
After a long but pro-
lific day, we got
back to our hotel to
charge our batteries
for our last night all
together.
Last day (26th October):
After a filling breakfast we prepared our luggage before
heading off to Medina Azahara, which is the ruins of a vast,
fortified palace-city built by Abderramán III in the 10th centu-
ry in Córdoba.
That’s the last place we visited on our amazing trip before
going to the train station to take the AVE back to Madrid,
where our parents were waiting for us!
It was such a nice experience, with a perfect mix of culture,
fun, convivence and friendship!
We are looking forward to the next one!

we decided to create a Mu-

children from this school have
the opportunity to explore
everything related to music.
On Wednesdays the children
learn all about musical notes,
rhythm, how to read music,
how to play percussion instru-
ments,etc. On Fridays some
children are learning how to
play the keyboard, which is
the first step before learning
how to play the piano.

Christmas fair
In St Anne´s school we held a Christmas fair to raise money
for Caritas. Each class had a stall with different things to sell.
These were all things that the children had worked hard to
make in class. The children had lots of fun making things to
sell at the fair and then taking part in selling them on the day.
These are the fantastic things
that each class made and
sold:
