Highnam Church Of England Primary Academy

On Friday the 17th of January, a mixture of Years 4, 5 and 6 went on an amazing singing trip to Young Voices in Birmingham. This is one of the biggest primary school choirs in the world – 5800 children were involved in our concert! The children were required to learn a variety of songs and perform them in the arena. This was a very exciting opportunity for the children to see how the music industry works.

We got on the bus, and soon we were there. When we got to Resorts Arena we had a warm welcome from the stewards and we quickly ate our lunch. Next we went in to the arena to practice there were over five thousand children singing - it sounded amazing! After a few hours it was teatime and some people had their photo taken with Urban Strides (a dance group). Next it was the real thing and the audience were there we had a fabulous time - singing and dancing. A big thank you to all the teachers who took us and to Miss Coldrick and Miss Gent for running the club where we learnt all our songs.
