	<link>https://www.katherinesemar.co.uk/news/?pid=443&amp;nid=5&amp;storyid=406</link>	<description><![CDATA[<p>Katherine Semar Junior choir performed their last concert of the year on Thursday 27th June. The children had worked very hard for this performance, led by the wonderful Mrs Wheeler.</p>

<p>The concert presented a selection of songs from the piece Yanomamo, by Peter Rose and Ann Conlan. This piece explores the beauty of the rainforest, and the interconnection between its animals, plants and people - the Yanomami.</p>

<p>We performed to the school in the afternoon and then again to parents after school. Several pupils had the opportunity to showcase their singing with solo spots. Bella performed The Sloth, a beautifully slow and ponderous song requiring great vocal control and poise. Eleanor, Martha, Katie, Poppy and Lulu introduced us to The Jungle Garden, singing their solo lines with sensitivity.</p>

<p>The songs were linked with some narration, ably delivered by Bethan, Florence, Evie, Evan, Lily, Rose, Julia and Lulu.</p>

Mrs Savill was approached by a very kind lady during the day, who was a retired primary school teacher, because she wanted to tell us how very impressed she was with the children&#39;s behaviour&nbsp;and curiosity.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
