The children were very lucky last week when we had an exciting musical visitor in school. Ollie Timner used to be a member of the famous rhythm group called Stomp and he now runs class workshops with children teaching and playing a variety of different musical styles and genres.

Each Key Stage 2 class had a group session where they got to play a range of Samba instruments and compose and create large compositions as a class. The children had opportunities to try all of the instruments and perform together for an extended amount of time.

Early Years and Key Stage 1 went to a Body Percussion workshops where they learned a range of rhythmic patterns using different parts of their bodies. 

The children were enthusiastic and engaged really well with Ollie. He was inspiring and made the sessions lively and a lot of fun. We are hoping to be able to have the opportunity to be able to work with Ollie again soon!
