Summer Term 2025

Summer has been a busy term for Music and Drama here at Timberley. We have had our first ever Rocksteady concert, which you can listen to below. We completed a project with The Birmingham Rep where our Drama Club were able to meet the playwright Jen and perform to other schools involved in the project, again you can see photos and watch the performance below. Finally, we have our very own Musical Showcase organised by our music specialist teacher Ms Coles from Music to You planned for tomorrow and I will upload a video for you to watch if you were unable to make it to the live performance.  May I say a very big well done to all of our children who show a real dedication to the musical opportunities they are offered here at Timberley and to our parents for supporting them. I would also like to thank Decus Ensemble for their bursary that allowed us to purchase violins and clarinets helping the development of classical music in our school.

Spring Term Music at Timberley

In spite of the pandemic, here at Timberley Academy we have continued to provide our children with Music lessons. Whether in school or at home, music has continued to flourish and the children have enjoyed their sessions led by Ms Salt who provided online lessons and alternative ways to create music using household objects.

Below you will be able to see and hear a sample of the work we have been creating during the Spring Term.

In our Reception classes the children have been using egg shakers, claves, drums, cymbals and their own voices to add music to one of their favourite Traditional Tales - The Three Little Pigs.

In Year 1 they have continued with their journey along the Four Seasons. They have been using the claves, egg shakers, hand-bells, maracas and their voices to produce music that celebrates the wonderful colours of Spring.

Our Year 5 children have been studying the Ancient Greeks and as part of tehri music lessons learnt and performed songs about characters from the Greek myths as well as composing and performing their own musical compositions on chime bars. 

The Year 6 children have been studying civilisations from the AD900 era of history including the African Kingdom of Benin. As part of their music sessions they learnt and performed traditional African folk songs and learnt how to play a range of traditional instruments.
