A note from Mrs Wallace

I am thrilled we have many musical enrichment opportunities this half-term, including two live performances. It’s worth reminding ourselves of the power of music, theatre and dance for young children. It provides a rich way of building connections with the outside world, it affects children’s intelligence and emotions, and helps them acquire skills including early language, improved mood and emotional regulation, improved memory and concentration as well as self-confidence, self-esteem and selfexpression. Music is also connected to our value of compassion this half-term. Music has a special power to motivate our empathy and help us connect with others. By learning how compassion is empathy in action, our children will be exploring ways to show compassion in school and home, across our village communities and beyond, at Christmas time and every day. I look forward to seeing you at the school gate as well as at the many events we have coming up over this half-term.
