Sea Shanty Concerts: Year 2 Hit the High Cs

Ahoy, me hearties! Year 2 pupils swapped their school uniforms for eye patches, stripy tops, and tricorn hats as they transformed into pirates for a day of swashbuckling fun. The highlight of the day was not one, but two spectacular Sea Shanty Concerts – one performed for other pupils and another for proud parents.

 

The children filled the hall with the sound of the sea, singing traditional shanties, including Wellerman, South Australia and Drunken Sailor with gusto. The pupils worked hard to learn the lyrics, practising both in school and at home.

“It was so much fun being a pirate for the day – and I loved singing to my mum and dad!” said one excited Year 2 pupil.

A huge congratulations to the pupils for the effort and enthusiasm they brought to their performances. Also, a massive thank you to parents for the support and the brilliant costumes!
