Yes, of course. 'Movement and music' was the one where we stripped down to knickers and vest and added pumps and went to the hall - we were enjoined to be flowers growing, trees bending in increasingly strong winds.

Then there were the singing lessons, trying to remember what they were called, where we learned so many traditional songs and had triangles and tambourines to use when asked.
I ended up as one of the 'record monitors' for morning assembly and we played such things as 'From the New World', bits of Elgar and, when we had a request slot, 'Tubby the Tuba'. Thanks for bringing it all back. :)

Shoota - trying to teach my granddaughter times tables by rote (she's as bad as I am at sums and that's the way I always coped, like me she goes blank when faced with a mathematical explanation) I've promised her a pretty fountain-pen for her 10th birthday if she learns them all (she is desperate for a pen like this)and she was doing fine with my weekly visits and checks - until I could no longer go a few weeks ago. I've a horrible feeling that she'll fail to recite them all to me so I must hang on to the pen. She was OK on all but a couple in the 6's and 7's a couple of weeks ago. :(
