Performing Arts News

Wow, we are more than half way through Spring Term and as expected, it has certainly been an exciting and crazy time in Performing Arts. Our Pre-Primary boys have been preparing a special song to sing at the official opening of the ELC on Thursday 17 November; Year 1 have been exploring form and structure in music through a variety of activities including singing, movement, playing and experimenting with graphic notation; Year 2 have been diligently rehearsing for a Nativity of a different kind, which they will perform at the final Junior School assembly on Friday 2 December; Year 3 have been experimenting with language and sound effects that can be made with their mouths (and what interesting sounds they have come up with) to create their own songs; Year 4 have proven that they truly are hip-hop superstars as they prepare a dance that will surprise and delight their audience; and Year 5 have been rehearsing like mad, including giving up their lunch breaks, to ensure that the performance of their musical, Dream On, on Thursday 1 December will be an absolute hit they'll be proud of.
