A recorder group has recently been formed at Woolsery School

and is busy practising – although not always in such a delightful sunshine as seen above! – for its debut at the school concert at the end of this term.

Most of the members of the group, who have bought their own instruments, are girls; in fact only a handful of boys has so far shown an interest. The headmaster, Mr C B Griffiths, has transcribed the music parts and two-part playing has begun. Their repertoire consists of hymns and well known traditional tunes, but ten years old Geraldine Cumming, of Dipple, who is gifted with a keen for music, has also transcribed parts for ‘Davy Crockett’.

Of more general appeal to boys in the development of plaster modelling at the school in which scope for individual making of casts has ben developed. Models made include faces, statues, animals, and, in particular, a fine relief map of the Holy Land.
