The children regularly showcase their skills in assemblies and school events as well as participating in wider community events.

Music Provision
In Music at Vickerstown this term Mrs Wiejak is hoping that everyone can join in with performing, composing and listening activities to enjoy music together again.
Each key stage will have a singing session every Wednesday to enjoy singing songs in all styles. Some will be old favourites, and some will be new to us.
Each class will spend one morning of every half term with Ms Wiejak doing lots of activities connected with a musical theme and all the class teachers are going to follow this through with some activities which Mrs Wiejak will leave for everyone.
Years 3 and 4 will be trying out some recorder playing during the year and year 6 are going to learn to play violin!!
We hope that our instrumental and singing groups will soon be able to start up again at lunchtime.
Year six will be learning about the start of pop and rock music whilst year 5 will be listening to Chinese music and writing some pieces of their own.
In year 4, pupils are going to be learning about different instruments of the orchestra and year 3 will be starting to learn how to read music for themselves
In key stage one the children will be learning about loud, quiet, fast and slow in music and reception and Brambles will have lots of singing and dancing activities on the menu too.
