A joyful start to the day: 3J Breakfast Concert
All news
This week, 3J played their breakfast concert to a host of parents, staff and their fellow year 3 peer group.
The CJS tradition of breakfast concerts have proven to be a joyful opening to a school day. It is a moment for children to celebrate their peers' achievements, and to practice the art of listening. Pupils, parents and staff enjoyed an array of performances from strings, percussion, to woodwind and brass. The pieces played were confident and accomplished, and we hope that this first taste of performance has whetted several appetites for musical careers to come...
In a pupil's own words:
"As we walked into the hall for the recent breakfast concerts, a rush of excitement fell upon us. There were oboe, clarinet, recorder, violin, drum and double bass performances. Everyone played melodically and even if they made a mistake it sounded like a note that was supposed to be played. I think the parents really enjoyed it. Afterwards, we took photos with our classmates and instruments."
