Tuesday, 4th October, 2022 (All Day)

As part of our Science topic on Sound, on Tuesday 4th October, the class will be participating in a Science of Sound workshop in school led by composer and music teacher, Sam Paechter. 

Under the terms of the Education Reform Act 1988 the school is not allowed to make a charge for this activity, but we are permitted to ask for contributions and the governors have authorised us to do so. I am sure you will understand that we cannot afford to pay for this activity from within the funds available to us so may I ask you, therefore, if you would be willing to make a voluntary contribution of £4.11 towards the cost of the activity.

We have held the workshop at Embsay in previous years and it has proven to be both extremely informative (covering all the elements of the Science National Curriculum for Sound) and also great fun, with lots of pupil participation.   Following on from the workshop, the children will look at the design of musical instruments to discover how they make their sound, before composing a group piece of music.
