Before I tell you about how I spent a week at Bexley Grammar School (BGS), I want to tell you some reasons why I wanted to take part in this program. First, I wanted to improve my English skills and try to use my English with native English speakers. Second, I’m interested in the lifestyle of the English people. Finally, I wanted to make a lot of friends.

This year’s big school concert took place on Monday evening this week, and featured a wide range of school ensembles. There was a wide range of  music  on display,  including music from the opera, Carmen by Bizet, performed by Symphony Orchestra; Senior Choir performed a medley of music by McFly, and Chamber Choir impressed with their interpretations of Disney classics ‘When She Loved Me’ from Toy Story and a new take on the Monkey song from the Jungle Book.

We were fortunate to host a group of students from Japan on an exchange trip. On the 1^st March my fellow host students and I went to London with the Japanese students.  

On the 19th February, the members of The Big Band Theory (the new name for the Big Band…) travelled to Camden to partake in the regional heats of the 2017 Music For Youth competition, and to hopefully follow on the success of the Improv Group last year.
