Magic and Music

Our Harmony day provided opportunity for students to perform their cultural songs 'Funga Alafia' (African welcome) and 'Inanay' (Australian indigenous) in front of other grades. It was terrific to see the enthusiasm of students to try new things this term with their voices, instruments and by working together. Well done everyone on your focus, efforts, courage and encouragement of each other!

We also finished off our Magic unit this week. The Grade 6s put on their own Magic shows for their Prep buddies. I loved seeing the enormous eyes of the Preps at the surprising tricks and their minds ticking over about how the illusion worked. The Prep students in turn tapped into their entertainer skills to pull off some tricks for the Grade 6s. Check out these cute photos.
