Catch a wave music show

Monkton pupils created their own fun music-based show to teach primary age pupils about the basic science of sound material for Years 3 and 4.

This was first performed to the entire Year 3 and 4 at Combe Down Primary school and will be performed at other local primary schools in the coming months.
