Language and Music Ambassadors

Over the last two weeks both the language ambassadors and music ambassadors had their first leadership meetings.

Language ambassadors

- we discussed how within our group of school leaders there were over 17 languages spoken!

- we unpicked what we thought were the core values of being a language ambassador, and how the roles would look over the year

- we talked about the kinds of activities we would undertake in class and across the school over the year - e.g. language of the week, national language days, cultural celebration days etc.

- we identified upper KS2 children as reading leaders who will support EAL children further down the school, or new arrivals who also share the same language. Below are Sahir and Minsong, two of our leading Year 6 language ambassadors.

Music Ambassadors

- we all introduced ourselves to one another, and expressed why we felt that music was a big part of our lives. Some answers included "Because I play an instrument...because I love the sounds music makes....because aIl love to sing and dance...because I really like rhythm....because I love rapping...because I love singing along to musicals."

- we discussed what we thought all the positive traits of a music ambassador should be, including looking after being extra responsible for the musical instruments around the school

- we thought about how we could promote the love of music more in our classes and across the school

- we talked about the upcoming teatime concert, which will be hosted by two of our senior Year 6 music ambassadors, Raphael and Saoirse. 

- we had a jam in the key of C using a variety of musical instruments!
