Music

"During this semester I have been doing classroom music and weekly group lessons. For classroom music I have been learning piano and guitar. For piano I have learnt the song ‘Riptide’ and I performed this in front of my class for my CAT assessment. In the guitar unit I have been learning the song ‘Zombie’.

In my weekly group lessons with my friends Liam and Jaxon I have been learning how to play the bass guitar whilst Liam plays an Acoustic and Jaxon plays an Electric. 

We have learnt the songs ‘Riptide’, ‘Beat It’ and ‘I Was Made For Loving You’ and we have performed both ‘Riptide’ in a school Assembly and ‘Beat it’ at the Instrumental Music Soiree which was really enjoyable for me".

Yr 9/10 Art

This month I'd like to focus on the Yr 9/10 Art class who produced a folio of colour-reduction linocut prints. 

This is a process that requires good planning and careful registration of each layer of printing to create the multi-coloured final print. 

As each stage of the process is completed, the printing plate is reduced further, meaning the final images are a limited edition, as the plate can never be used to reprint them. 

Some very effective images have been produced, and the class has now moved on to watercolour painting in their last few weeks.
