How on earth is it 2017 all ready?
This year has seen some very exciting developments in Performing Arts at West Byford Primary School, and it is shaping up to be a fabulous year! Junior Choir This year we are launching the very first JUNIOR CHOIR. Open to Year 3 students and under the direction of Mrs Stewart, the Junior Choir will be learning songs and techniques and performing throughout the year at school events. Our first performance will be in collaboration with the Senior Choir at the ANZAC assembly. We meet every Monday lunch time in Gecko 4. Senior Choir Senior Choir is back on again this year under the direction of Mrs George, and we have been doing some incredibly technical work with rounds and harmonies to prepare our ears and voices for the year ahead. Our first performance is at the ANZAC assembly. We meet every Monday lunchtime in the Music Room. Wakakirri This year the year 6s will be taking on a new challenge... The Wakakirri Story Dance competition. Wakakirri is an incredible competition, where schools around Australia use dance, music and performance to tell a story. Each year has a 'signature item' and this years item is 'GIFT'. How will we weave this into our story? Only time will tell. Technology This year, like last year, students will have the opportunity to use technology in the Performing Arts classroom to create original pieces of work. This gives our students a chance to experience Music and composition from a different angle and use their knowledge of technology to deepen their understanding of Music. It is particularly satisfying to see students publish professional sounding compositions in classes and to beam with pride when playing their songs to the class. Mrs George out of school Unfortunately in Term 1 I will be missing for a few days here and there. March 1-3 I will be out of school for family reasons. The week of March 13 I will also be out of school. The relief teacher will have all my notes and you will be completing the same work, and I will see you when I return. That's the update for now... have a lovely week everyone!
