| Music |
 A music specialist teaches all children throughout the school, each year group having two lessons per week. There is also a weekly, optional, choir for children in Years 1 and 2. The choir has performed in a concert with various Elstree choirs in addition to taking part in the Christmas play and Summer ConcertAll children are given the chance to participate and perform both in a group and as a soloist. By engaging in making and responding to music, children develop their understanding and appreciation of a wide range of different types of music. Music helps children to develop skills, attitudes and attributes that can support learning in other subject areas, for example, listening skills, the ability to concentrate and creativity and sensitivity towards others. In Year 2, all children learn the recorder and also have the opportunity to start individual instrumental lessons which are taught by the peripatetic teachers at Elstree. A wide range of instrumental lessons are available. A concert is held in the Summer term in which all Home Farm children participate, giving them the opportunity to showcase songs they have learnt throughout the year. |
