    Our creative Year 2 children have been hard at work, transforming the stories of famous sports people into incredible songs. Using a variety of instruments like tambourines, maracas, wooden blocks, and more, they've crafted their own rhythms and lyrics to bring these legends to life through music. Using their creativity, they are learning about rhythm and melody while celebrating inspiring figures.
