Children listened to the Coldplay song ‘Sky full of Stars’ and discussed the different instruments we could hear in the song and how together they created texture. Then we discussed what tempo and made out own beats using different tempos. We performed our beats in the willow classroom. ### y3 music coldplay [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1360.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1360.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1361.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1361.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1431.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1431.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1432.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1432.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1433.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1433.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1434.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1434.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1435.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1435.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/18581/IMG_1436.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/gallery/18581/IMG_1436.JPG) [ Reading Champions - Year 5](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-04-20-15-58-10-reading-champions-year-5) [Dinosaur discovery in Reception Class ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/blog/2018-04-20-17-06-28-dinosaur-discovery-in-reception-class) ### Our School - [Headteacher's Welcome](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/headteacher-s-welcome) - [School Vision ](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision) - [Mission Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/school-vision/mission-statement) - [Academy Trust Details](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/academy-trust-details) - [Financial Information](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/financial-information) - [History](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/history) - [Our School Day](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/our-school-day) - [Staff list](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/meet-the-staff) - [Job Vacancies](https://recruit.sampeople.co.uk/Jobboard/Trust/aspirationalfutures/00002) - Governors - [Local Governing Board](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/governors) - [Special Educational Needs](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sen) - [Ofsted](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports) - [Performance](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/performance-reports/performance) - [Policies](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/policies) - [British Values Statement](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/british-values-statement) - [General data Protection Regulation (GDPR)](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/data-protection-notice) - [Mental Health & Wellbeing](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/mental-health-wellbeing) - [Equalities](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/equalities) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) - [Staff Email](https://mail.google.com/) - [Staff Use Only](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/staff-use-only) - [OPAL Lunchtimes](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/opal-lunchtimes) - [Sustainability](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/our-school/sustainability) ![Gillibrand Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/gillibrand/images/logo/gillibrand_logo_2.png) #### Gillibrand Primary School Grosvenor Road Chorley PR7 2PJ 01257 274983 #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Gillibrand-Primary-School/61564646614865/?locale=en_GB) © Copyright 2015–2026 Gillibrand Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://gillibrandprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
