Choir Performance
On Thursday 15 September, 13 of our Year 5 & 6 students performed on stage at the Adelaide Festival Theatre as part of the Public Primary Schools Festival of Music. Our school was also represented by 30 students who were part of the Wau Bulan Dancers and Junk Squad. The Primary Schools Festival of Music, an official state icon, and is custodian of an iconic South Australian tradition, we engage our students in artistic excellence, cultural diversity and social inclusion through performance in Music and the Arts. This year the Festival’s 9 concerts feature Year 5 and 6 students. To commemorate this significant change, Annie Kwok wrote the song “Who Knows?”. This year we commissioned Dan Walker to compose a set of four songs entitled “The Space Between Us”. It is not just about the space that exists above our heads, but the space all around us. During the concerts there were a number of Guest Artists from public primary and secondary schools, other choir items that presented different musical genre, and two pieces that specifically showcased the talents of the orchestra. It was a spectacular event that our students enjoyed being a part of. Photos are available for purchase via this link; https://www.tmphotography.com.au/festival-of-music-2022/96694021

The “Arts” curriculum, consists of Visual Art, Media Art, Music, Drama and Dance. Each element is run over two years, e.g. year 1 and 2, year 3 and 4 and year 5 and 6.
Year 3 students in Room 27 have looked at the different techniques and visual arts practices artists use to create their artwork. We have looked at different lines, colour and paper collage to create art.
After looking at and discussing the techniques Henri Mattise used to create art, students followed his paper collage technique to create their own version of his work.

Using white crayon, students then wrote the alphabet onto white paper and colour-washed it to show their writing below.
After listening to the Rainbow Serpent as part of their Aboriginal Studies, Room 27 students wrote a story review, discussing the main characters traits and meaning of the story.
Working with our Room 23 Foundation Buddy Class, the two classes created a giant Rainbow Serpent using crayon which then had a black colour wash applied. The giant serpent can be seen slithering along the wall of the new East Building.
