The sun shone down on us for the Music Festival this year... sun cream and sun hats were the order of the day!

 

The music festival is always a highlight of the year for us, especially as we help to lead it and put everything together. This year we were again at Cottesmore Academy, and our year 5/6 children joined with 350 other children from across all of the other schools in the Rutland Learning Trust. 

 

The Festival began with a shared 'rap' before the children were split into their three colour groups. Each group (containing four schools) took turns performing on the performance stage, whilst the other groups could attend the activities on offer. These included: making musical instruments, big art, football skills, an inflatable assault course, festival games, golf and face painting, amongst other things. 

 

We were in the 'red' group, who were second to take to the stage. We performed our two songs brilliantly, with clear diction and tuneful melodies, accompanied by a backing track and live accompaniment from Dylan on the piano. 

 

As well as performances by the children, there were performances by some parents from one of the other RLT schools. The afternoon rounded off with the RLT Staff band, with Mrs Davis on the piano and singing.

 

What an amazing day - we can't wait for next year!
