Year 5/6 News
Movie Night Extravaganza
Last Wednesday, Year 5 and 6 students held their ‘Movie Night Extravaganza!’.
As the evening was the ‘Premier’, the students arrived for the red carpet event dressed to the nines. Displayed throughout were the students Movie and Music Posters, advertising the films.
After the paparazzi took photographs and the ‘Stars’ took time to catch up with each other, all students and their families filed into their classrooms. There was a count down and the show began. Laughter, oohing and clapping could be heard from the classrooms throughout the screening. The show was clearly a hit! There was a walk down memory lane, with a special viewing of our ‘stars’ before they were famous. The grade Fives enjoyed watching themselves as six years olds in the Numbat and Friends video “Respect”. The Sixes loved seeing their seven year old selves singing and dancing to their anti-bulling video “Bully”.
A wonderful night was had by all. A special thanks to the producers and art directors Zach, Mrs Stewart and Ms. Kupfer for all the work they put into the show.
