Christmas Concert Practice- PRIORITY

We have now finished all of our concert practice sessions and with our concert being on Monday, it s crucial that children spend the weekend going over any of the songs that they do not know as well. All of the songs and lyrics are on last weeks blog.

The song in particular that needs the most practice is ‘While Shepherds Watched’. This is because each class sings a different verse so it is more independent of each child to loudly and confidently sing the lyrics. We are singing Verse 2 which is;

“Fear not,” said he for mighty dread

had seized their troubled mind

“glad tidings of great joy I bring

to you and all mankind
