Music

We love to sing at Ashton Vale! Every assembly begins with a song sung together. Every Thursday we have a singing assembly led by Miss Green and Mrs Frampton. We sing a variety of songs and the children love to take part.
We are excited to be following the award winning Get on Board – Music Curriculum for Bristol. The Music Curriculum for Bristol has been developed by Bristol Plays Music in consultation with teachers and tailored to Bristol schools. It contains a complete resource that spans Reception to Year 6. The first phase of lesson plans begin with themes of water and air and include topics such as the ss Great Britain and sea shanties, balloons, kites and aeroplanes before moving on to the theme of rhythm for phase two. In phase three pitch has been introduced with a focus on songs and part singing, together with chronology where plans and resources support teaching an overview of the history of music
