All choirs are now rehearsing each week within their year group bubbles. Hot off the success of their performance in Friday’s nativity blockbuster, the Year 8 Chapel Choir are showcasing the beautiful ‘Christmas Blessing’, by Lloyd Larson (do join in with ‘Silent Night’ at the end!). Year 6 (who were also featured in yesterday’s film, did you hear them?) sing the classic ‘O Holy Night’ and Year 7 have been learning a Spanish carol, ‘A La Nanita Nana’, which leads into the timeless ‘Coventry Carol’.

Year 6 class work this term has focused on singing techniques and listening to each other whilst holding melodies and harmonies.

This is ‘That’s Christmas to me’ by Pentatonix, sung by all of Year 6, recorded safely and within their classes.
