In a few weeks, we will be having a special assembly commemorating 100 years since the Battle of the Somme during World War 1. To honour the memory of those who gave their lives in battle, we will be singing the famous hymn by Gustav Holst "I Vow To Thee My Country".
Year 5 children will recognise the melody of this hymn from "Jupiter" when we were studying "The Planets Suite" also by Holst.
Many of you will also recognise the melody form International Week. It was used as the basid for "World in Union" which we play every year during the flag ceremony.
