Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Week 2

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend with your families.

Here is a question to get you reflecting on your first week of Home Learning:

  • What has been the most challenging part of your Home Learning journey so far?

For me, it has been getting to grips with the new school blog. It has been challenging to keep up to date with comments and creating new posts to go up throughout the week. As the first week progressed, I became more comfortable with this new way of learning.

In my downtime, I have continued to practise the piano. Click on the Sway to see my progress over the last week! Do you know what song I am playing? If you’re not sure, ask someone in your family!

  1. The first one was twinkle twinkle little star and the second one was here comes the sun by the Beatles. It sounds sweet.

    1. Good morning, Harry. It is great to hear from you! I must say that I am very impressed with your answers, well done! I didn’t know that you were a fan of the Beatles.

  2. Mrs Lusher to Mr Reid

    I need some lessons in how to use this system as I was hoping to put some simple challenges and quizzes on here.

    1. Hello Mrs Lusher, it is lovely to hear from you! You will need access to the blog to be able to upload posts. Could it be possible to email one of the teaching staff your challenges/quizzes?

      1. That sounds like a good idea. I’ll give it a try. I hope your pupils have been giving Joe Wicks a try. I think that maybe later they could try setting up a simple fitness routine. What do you think?

  3. Mr Reid- What a lovely tune to hear this morning. You are really coming on heaps ! You are inspiring me to dig out a clarinet I bought a while ago to try learn to play but have never had time to start. Maybe now is the time ?

    1. Thank you for your feedback, Mrs Fraser. Using the blog to update everyone on my progress helps to keep me motivated! I have already started on my next piece of music and I know that many children in my class will love it! It is the main theme song to my favourite movie franchise.
