Spring Term 2026 - Buchan House Care Home visit

We were delighted to have an extra visit to Buchan House this year at Easter time.  Throughout this term we have been learning songs which we hoped many of the residents would recognise.  They were mostly new to us and there were a lot of words to learn, but the pupils in choir rose to the challenge and it was lovely to hear some of the audience joining in with the songs.

We also took some wooden agogos with us, which the residents played brilliantly during ‘My Grandfather’s Clock’, making the sound of the ticking clock.

After we finished singing, Buchan House staff had arranged a fantastic Easter egg hunt as a treat for the choir pupils and residents.  We all had a lovely time!

Spring Term 2026 – Recorder and Choir Performance

Thank you to everyone who came to support us in our end-of-term concert.  It was lovely to have such an enthusiastic audience. Here are some recordings of the pieces performed by choir and recorder club:

Nursery Music Week

During our Nursery’s special music focus week, two of our KS2 instrumentalists took their instruments down to play to the children.  One played the flute and one played the guitar.  They performed beautifully and we hope their hard work in lessons and practice outside of school, will inspire these younger pupils to consider learning an instrument.

KS2 Choir - Singing at Buchan House Light Switch On

Thank you so much to Buchan House for the lovely opportunity to sing at your Christmas light switch-on and thank you to the children from choir and their families who braved the cold and lifted everyone’s spirits with their joyful singing.  We had a great time and hope to be invited back again next year!

Choir at Buchan House

This was our second visit to Buchan House this term – this time inside in the warm (very warm!)

Our KHEF pupils were fantastic and brought a lot of joy to the residents, who sang along with lots of the Christmas favourites.  We were also really proud of the way our children spoke to the residents after the singing with great confidence and so considerately.  Well done!

Here are a few of the things we sang:

Choir and Recorder - Christmas Performance

Well done once again to choir and recorder who gave a lovely festive performance in the Big Hall.  We hope you might enjoy listening again to our repertoire.

Carols Outside

We had another successful set of Christmas performances, which mostly consisted of singing ‘carols’ outside. Y1-3 sang together, Y4-6 sang together and Reception and Nursery did their own performances.

We have a few short excerts of some of the songs.  It was hard to get good quality recordings outside, but hopefully you can hear some of the joyful music!  (Sadly the Y4-6 recordings didn’t work because of the wind.)

Nursery did two performances on one day, indoors and brought a lot of joy to their audiences.

Choir October Assembly

KS2 choir gave a fantastic performance to the whole school in assembly to celebrate the end of a half term’s singing!  We performed two pieces.  Listen out in ‘Zombie Disco’ for our solo improvisers and small group performers.
