Grade 3/4 Choir

Congratulations to our Grade 3/4 Choir for their first performance of the 2020 school year!
Usually, we would have had many opportunities to perform within our school and the wider community. However, this video is the first performance opportunity for the choir.
Thank you to Di VanTienan for joining us on the piano and Hannah for filming it. We hope that you enjoy Yo Vivo Cantando (I live to Sing) by Jerry Estes.

Count Me In

The students and teachers at the Kingston Campus celebrated Music Count Us In on Thursday, 5th November.  All of our students at the Kingston Campus have been working hard this term to learn the 3 versions of the song including Auslan and Yamatji.  It is really important that students can see the culmination of their work and share it with each other at events like MCUI.  

Music Count Us In 2020 was so much more than singing a song.  Students learned about Aboriginal culture and about the Auslan language.  

This has been our students’ only opportunity to perform music live this year, so far.  Singing develops language skills and opportunities to make music together, strengthens community, develops unity and is good for our well-being.

Kinder

This week in Kinder we have had a wonderful time with all 3 classes celebrating a teddy bears picnic- bringing in their favourite teddy of all sorts, sizes, colours and shapes. We used these teddies as a provocation to a range of learning activities-fine motor tasks including teddy bear template cutting and threading, crown making for our teddies, art activities including sketching and then painting our own teddies or a teddy bear-some with a close resemblance and others a little more abstract, teddy bear biscuit icing and decorating, mathematical learning which included sorting our teddies from smallest to biggest (and there were some child size teddies that came for a visit for the day), playing hide and seek in the playground or 'going on a class bear hunt' with positional clues, picnic role playing and some fun and games on the oval. We also enjoyed singing songs, stories and rhymes. All children and bears slept well after this eventful day packed full of wonderful learning opportunities.
