Chatting with Channing
Year 4 have been exploring the world of Ragtime and Big Band Jazz. They have been using Chrome Music Lab’s Song Maker to create a Ragtime-inspired piece, featuring a steady, marching bass line and an offbeat (syncopated) melody.
Spears Choir took part in a beautiful Remembrance Service at Rosslyn Hill Chapel on Sunday. They sang wonderfully and were an absolute credit to the school. Bravo, girls!
Year 6 took us on an epic journey with `The Adventures of Odysseus`` in their assembly. From divine beauty contests to the Cyclops and mystical islands, their performance was full of adventure, humour, and heart.
This week we are celebrating Partnership Week!
When we work together for the good of our community, we are more effective and achieve far more than when we act alone. The Unitarian values of Channing’s founders — free thinking, acceptance and inclusivity — have endured since our foundation in 1885. These values drive us to reach beyond the school gates and build connections that have a positive social and educational impact on both the wider community and our school.
By engaging with and contributing to the broader community, we cultivate empathy, responsibility and active citizenship in our students, ensuring that Channing is not just a school but a force for positive change.
That’s why we’re proud to partner with Highgate Newtown Community Partners, Brookfield Primary School and St Aloysius’ College, among others. Together, we’re working to create a more supportive and inclusive community for everyone.
