Spring Concert

We had a spring concert on jazz. It was called “The Sounds of Jazz”. The concert was filled with amazing songs called (in order) “lets jam”, “hambone”, “step back baby”, “old enough to sing the blues”, “one potato two potato”, “dukes place” and lets jam reprise!!! My part in it was the xylophone. I played 3 patterns. My favourite part was the lets jam reprise it was so live and full of energy. And the surprise ending was the best we totally tricked them. I really enjoyed the performing because it gives me a happy feeling inside. My mother thought that it was really nice performance. Great job everyone! Enjoy watching the videos of our performances.

This is the Let`s Jam song. Our actions are really good!

Celebrations in Room 30!

Congratulations to Faith and Felicia for receiving the Patrol of the Month Award for February! It is wonderful to have students showing leadership and responsibility as they help to make our school a safe and better place.

Keaston's new chair arrived at school. It is adjusted to fit him perfectly. There was a lot of cheering and clapping as he was able to move from his wheelchair to his very own desk. The students are delighted (and so is Keaston) that he will be part of our classroom seating plan on a regular basis.

We are all looking forward to another great week. It's our spring concert on Wednesday so we are busy preparing for a great show! We hope many of you will be able to come out to enjoy, "The Sounds of Jazz".

Spring Concert

We have a choreographer in our school for the concert this year. Her name is Brenda Gorlick. She taught us 3 different dances. They were: keep on dancing by Bay City Rollers, We Will Rock You by Queen and Thriller by Michael Jackson. Personally U Can’t Touch This was my favourite.

I got picked to be in Thriller and so did Cameron. I was very happy that I got picked. But it gets so hot in there. There are lots of other songs that people dance to. Here they are: Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend by Marylyn Monroe, Jailhouse Rock by Elvis Presley, Ring Of Fire by Johny Cash, Hard Day’s Night and Hey Jude by the Beatles. Coat of Many Colors by Dolly Parton, Beat it by Michael Jackson, U Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer, Wanabee by the Spice Girls, Man I Feel Like a Woman by the Shania Twins, Hit the Lights by Selena Gomez and Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga.

We had practiced the concert a few times about 5 or 6 times. First time we practiced in front of the grade ones. The second time it was again in front of the grade ones. The third and fourth times we did it by ourselves. And the fifth and sixth time we did it by ourselves and then Ms. Wasney's class came in to see some of our practice. In the morning on April 18 we did it for the whole school. At 2 o’ clock there was one of the shows I felt kind of nervous but not really. I felt I did pretty good on stage because I was in front. But at the 6:30 concert I wasn’t nervous at all.

Artist in the School

After spring break we’ve had an artist in the school. Her name is Brenda Gorlick and she is a choreographer. She has been teaching us dances for our spring concert. So far she has taught us two dances. One is by The Bay City Rollers keep on dancing. And the other one is we will rock you. They’re both very fun. My favourite one is we will rock you. It’s fun and easy to learn. Of course we all know the beginning of the dance you stomp you’re feet and clap your hands eight times then do all the other dance moves. Keep on dancing is fun too. We learned that one pretty quickly. There are three moves the monkey jerk, the train and mashed potato pony. We all got numbered 1 to 3 and whatever number she gave us that would be the one we’ll be doing. And I heard we were going to have to be wearing funny outfits. And our music teacher said we might have to wear kilts. I probably won’t look good in a man skirt. Oh well I’ll just have to go along with it. But our music teacher is having trouble trying to find kilts. She said she wanted green kilts. Not red. I wonder why she didn’t want red. I’ll have to ask her later. I just remembered we also danced to thriller. That was fun to and I know we all know how it starts. You’re on the floor and then you come up and you act like a zombie then you walk like a zombie and you know the rest.  It’s really fun doing all of those dances and Brenda Gorlick does a good job on helping all of the classes learn how to dance. Even if they already know how to dance it’s always fun to learn new dances. Mrs. Gorlick is doing a good job and I say to her thanks for all the help. Our spring concert is on the 18^th so we don't have a lot of time before show time. When I dance it makes me feel free. I enjoy dancing and I’m pretty sure a lot of people do to.  I can't wait to perform our dances. Here is a video of us practicing.
