Adwick Primary School

“When we started I was quiet and didn’t want to talk much, but now if our teacher asks a question I will answer, I used to be scared to do things but now I find it easier to get involved, I enjoyed the beat pad most.” L.M aged 9

We asked if they felt anything had changed since we started 6 weeks ago.

It was our final session of 6 on Tuesday and I asked the children if they felt anything was different from when we met 6 weeks ago. 6 out of the 9 pupils recognised that they were more confident socially.

For us building strong social bonds and supercharging confidence are among our primary aims, but to hear them mirror back their understanding of it really made my day.

Over the past 6 weeks we have covered communication and discipline. Learning and development. Music from around the world. Songwriting and Music Production, DJing and the connections between Maths, Science, Art and Music.

We have Jammed, laughed, learnt about each other and explored the building blocks of Music.

Thanks to Miss Jenkins for taking part as well as supporting us through the sessions and thanks to all the School staff who made us feel welcome.

Woodlands Library Easter Fayre

Once again Councillor Smizz comes through for people in the Adwick /Woodlands area.

We had great engagement from all ages with babies and toddlers to 17 and 18 year olds taking part.

We met Damian Allen and his team from DMBC. It felt good to share some of our success stories, while Damian spoke with our latest volunteer Matt about how our vision for showcasing culture aligned with what they had both witnessed in Germany.

We took a quick (and dodgy looking) selfie and made some good connections in the community along the way.

Big thanks to Elizabeth and Jackie for inviting us, look out for FREE 90minutemusic sessions in the Library next term.
