Lyrics:
Blasting into space on a rocket made in Russia
Blasting into space, our British space explorer
Satellites, meteorites, angry aliens who want a fight
Blasting into space, to live among the stars.
Floating without gravity
Looking down on earth, what can we see?
All at once a presence I feel
An alien on board, yes I see they are real!
Now we're up in space, zooming around in orbit
Now we're up in space, flying around the planets
Satellites, meteorites, friendly aliens - what a sight!
Now we're up in space, we live among the stars!
Year 2 Music Masters had a great morning practising orchestra.
Click on the link below to see a short film of our day at the Symphony Hall Birmingham.
We were lucky enough to have BBC Midlands today come into school and see the children with their brand new instruments, all getting ready for the start of their musical journey.
We had a fantastic day last Thursday with 4 classes trying their new instruments. Over the next two weeks all children from Y2 to Y6 will be trying instruments and starting lessons. You may have heard the piece on Radio Shropshire, if not, click on the link below.
