Music

Every Monday morning each learning group has a different specialist. There is Food Tec, Music, Technology and Drama. Each term we have a different specialist. Last term my learning group had Music. Our music teacher is Piero. Each week we did a different thing. For e.g., One week we sang another week we played instruments. We also learned about a lot of old bands and singers, like Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The sort of instruments we play are the castanets, drums, bongos, xylophone, triangle and plenty more.

Cross Country

This term there is going to be a cross country team for the 4, 5, 6’s. On Friday the 18th of April there are try outs in the gym at lunch time. On the 8th of May at Bundoora Park cross country will be on. Last year it rained and rained and rained so hopefully this year the weather will be good.

Sports Report

We had tryouts for sport .At tryouts this week we had 4 choices to tryout for. I did a tryout for soccer .I thought I did pretty good .But we don’t know if we are in the team. We will find out next Friday. They are only aloud 13 people in the team. We first had to dribble the ball around a cone and then halfway back we had to kick the ball to the next person. Then we played keepers off. After that we played a real game of soccer. The red team won. I was on the plain team.
