wonderfully busy one for Music, filled with creativity, participation, and plenty of joyful noise. We\u2019ve been fortunate to continue our partnership with <strong>Live Music Now<\/strong>, whose visits always bring excitement, inspiration, and high-quality live performance experiences for our pupils. Alongside them, our <strong>Music Therapists<\/strong> have continued their invaluable work, supporting children through personalised, expressive sessions that foster communication, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>\ud83c\udf08 Early Years Musical Adventures<\/h3>\n<p>Our younger learners have also enjoyed a rich musical experience this term. <strong>Caterpillar Music<\/strong> visited <strong>Hopetoun class<\/strong>, with <strong>Lammermuir<\/strong> joining in for a series of lively themed sessions full of songs, actions, instruments, and sensory play. Early Years music has also included further activities focused on movement, choosing favourite nursery rhymes, and opportunities for gentle musical relaxation. These sessions have supported early communication, turn\u2011taking, and joy in shared musical experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>\ud83d\ude0c Dance Therapy: Movement, Music, and Mindfulness<\/h3>\n<p>Our <strong>Dance Therapy<\/strong> sessions with Charan have also been a highlight. In addition to regular groups, a special <strong>Thursday lunchtime session<\/strong> has been running, where Charan collaborates with Gordon, who provides flute accompaniment.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of gentle melodies, soft percussion, and expressive movement has created a calm and relaxing space for the children. It\u2019s been lovely to see pupils engaging in this soothing environment, with singing and vocalisation in response to the calm movement and sounds.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udfa7 Making Musical Choices: ASDAN Awards<\/h3>\n<p>Several of our secondary pupils have been working hard toward their <strong>ASDAN awards<\/strong>, focusing on skills such as making choices and expressing preferences in Music. Using switches, students have been selecting pieces of music and choosing which songs they\u2019d like to hear in full.<\/p>\n<p>The range of musical tastes has been fantastic\u2014from rock classics and ABBA favourites to Gigglebellies, Louis Armstrong, and more. The sessions have often been full of energy, with pupils showing good attention and engagement. Scarves and ribbons have added extra fun as the children move, sway, and dance along to the music they\u2019ve chosen.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It\u2019s been a term full of creativity, expression, and meaningful musical moments. We can\u2019t wait to see what next term brings!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udfb6 A Busy and Joyful Term in Music This term has been a wonderfully busy one for Music, filled with creativity, participation, and plenty of joyful noise.
