Westdale Junior School news

The choir and musicians have had another busy and successful year.
The Assembly Choir participated in the Chrsitmas pantomime and the full choir performed three carols in our school Carol Service just before we broke up for Christmas.
One of the highlights of the year was in February when the Assembly Choir performed in a charity concert given in aid of Barnardos in the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham. We sang a song called I am a small part of the world which fitted the theme of the event particularly well. We also sang a number of songs as part of a massed choir.
It was a great experience singing in such a large hall but the choir made a very good sound and gave an excellent performance - being especially complimented by Douglas Coombes, the well-known composer and conductor who directed the massed choir.


The choir performed some West Indian songs and led our Easter service in the Spring Term and the school year finished with a brilliant concert in which the violinists and orchestra performed a range of pieces, some Year 6 pupils played solos and the choir performed extracts from the musical Mary Poppins.
