The PTA has donated £1,000 to the music department for the purchase of handchimes that can be used throughout the school.
We were delighted to be able to purchase £1,000 worth of new handchimes for the school's music department this month. The instruments can be used from Foundation all the way through to Y6. They will be used as part of class lessons focussing on pitch and chords, as well as in exploring musical styles, and in composition activities with lovely chord clusterss.
We're thrilled to hear that a new year 6 handchime group has been formed. The group will enable the children to become more proficient at working together to play more complex melodies. Teamwork skills will be developed as the children have to listen carefully to each other to know when to play their note.
Mrs Crozier, music lead, told us "We are very excited about the new addition to the music provision at Jeavons Wood! We are delighted that the PTA were able to support us to purchase a set of handchimes. We have already used them in singing assembly and formed a Y6 handchime group. We hope to have a piece ready to perform in the church at Christmas. The handchimes will be able to be used by children in reception all the way up to year six in their curriculum music lessons too. We look forward to sharing our music with you."
We can't wait to hear these gorgeous instruments!

Jeavons Wood PTA is a registered charity made up of parents, carers and teachers who meet each half term. We discuss ways to raise additional funds which will provide extra activities and equipment for the children of the school and pre-school.
Our PTA is about much more than simply fundraising. The PTA exists to provide closer links between home and school. It is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal. It is fun too - just ask any of the Committee members or PTA helpers!
