Art in Term 2 started well with our school being featured in the History Month exhibition at the Lobethal Woollen Mill. Exhibiting our work was a fulfilling and exciting way to connect with the community and to create work for a ‘real world’ audience. A big thank you to all the class teachers who worked with their classes to produce wonderful history based artworks and artefacts. A special thank you to Beck Reeves who gave up part of her holidays to hang the exhibit with me. It was also great to get help from members of our local ‘h.Art’ Hills Art group, Kirsty Emery, Marrianne Brice and Bronwen Klose. The opening of the exhibition on Pioneer Walk afternoon was a fantastic event and we were excited to share our work with families and the wider community. We are grateful for the support shown by parents, grandparents and community members. This term our focus is on creating art works with a maths connection. We have been making works that use maths concepts such as pattern, shape, symmetry, tessellation and perspective. This builds connections for students and makes learning in both maths and art more meaningful. We will be continuing this thread for the rest of this term so look out for some interesting pieces of optical illusion, abstract and symmetry themed art. Jane Mant
ART — Jane Mant
In drama, Junior Primary students have enjoyed playing many drama
games (Mr G's pirate hat has been regularly donned) as well as
exploring making drama from poetry and Dreaming's. In middle
primary we have looked at the work of Laurel and Hardy and explored
slapstick comedy including catchphrase and gesture and the rule of
three. We've just begun rehearsals for a performance of 'How the
Birds got their Colours'. In Upper Primary drama we've recently
started rehearsals for 'Why frogs can only croak'. Watch this space for
performance dates and times.
Drama—Mr Gallagher
Music — Mrs North
Having Ila Zadow spend time
with us on Work
Experience – we loved her
trombone playing!
Composing and performing an
‘Emotion piece’, where students
worked in an ensemble and
composed a piece of music that
represented emotions and
practiced and performed this
piece.
Wow music this year has really taken off! Bands with Simon are well under way, The Instrumental Music Service
students and teachers are building up their repertoire of songs, our 44 member choir are madly trying to master
11 songs for performing in just over two weeks at The Hills Music Festival and our classroom music program has
started to plan and develop performances for our Term 3 concert! Phew!
I just love hearing our students play music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our school has such a buzz in the air
on these days and I often see students (and adults) have a little dance or peek into the Music room window with
excitement when they hear students playing, singing and dancing to their music.
All students have been singing, playing, dancing, creating and performing as they extend their understandings
and appreciation of music.
Some of the highlights of Term 1 and 2 have been:
Joining in with the South Australian Children's Festival , Dream Big in Adelaide, where we were filmed singing
our song marching across the footbridge to the Festival Centre and participating in some fantastic workshops.
Singing, “We Are Australian” for Harmony
Day as we discussed what it means to be
Australian and to belong.
Welcome to Winter!
As it is getting colder we have noticed things slowing down
in the garden. Classes 4, 5 and 6 have been coming out to
Garden classes once a fortnight planting out our winter
crops, including cauliflower, leeks, carrots, peas, beetroot
and broad beans.
The last of our summer seeds have been collected and we
are already harvesting broccoli and kale.
Last term we were busy making signs with Jill Dunn. So
even though the garden may be looking a little barer with no
leaves on the trees our veggie beds are popping with colour
from the new signs. Students from Rooms 4 & 5 have gained
their Wheelbarrow Licences while students in Room 6 have
been soil testing and charting out our planting schedule for
the garden in line with our Friday Foodies menu they
planned earlier in the year.
The students have also been potting up strawberries,
raspberries and other plants from our garden and a very
generous member of our community who has kindly
donated boxes of plants to donate to residents effected by
the Pinery Fires.
A Bushfire Garden Revival open day will be held for them in
Hamley Bridge this Sunday 18 th June from 10-2pm, where I
will take all our donations.
