Music is an important part of the life of Woodside Academy. We sing daily in assemblies and as part of lessons, we have three choirs - Junior, Infant and Staff and a very popular steel band. In year 3 children learn to play steel pans and in year 4 the recorder. childrenkey Our concerts at the end of each term feature musical plays showcasing the talents of different years in turn. Recent productions include Scrooge, Matilda, Cats, The Jungle Book, Wind in the Willows, The Wizard of Oz, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves plus the Christmas and Easter stories. Music is coordinated by Mrs Edwards supported by Mrs Conroy.
