Craigburn’s Got Talent

Today we held the finals of our Craigburn’s Got Talent performances and WOW the children at Craigburn really DO have a lot of talent!!

CONGRATULATIONS to Ethan for winning the Craigy for 2012.

Ethan performed a song on the saxaphone.

He is a Year 3 in the classroom nextdoor to us. 

Here’s a photo of Ethan as he receives the Craigy trophy.

Two weeks ago Mrs Rayner started to hold the try outs for each class. We had lots of students prepare and organise their performances for our try outs on Tuesday. After a long week of performances from all Reception to Year 7 students the finalists were announced.

There was a great variety of acts that made the finals – solo singers, group songs and dances, skipping, dances, hip hop dance, musical instruments being played and so many more.

Our class had four different groups make the final.

Lachlan played his drums and sang Come Together by the Beatles.

Lucy and Sarah sang and danced to a song.

Emma, Jenny and Hannah sang and danced to a One Direction song.

Samuel sang a song.

We’d like to say congratulations to all of the students who were brave enough to organise and prepare an item for Craigburn’s Got Talent. It takes a lot of courage and confidence to perform in front of an audience of around 600 people.

The judges found it really difficult to make a final decision as there can only be one winner of the Craigy trophy.  There were lots of ties for the second and third positions – well done to everyone!

Here are all of the members from our class that tried out for Craigburn’s Got Talent!

Final Footsteps Session

On Thursday we had our final Footsteps session with Erin, our instructor.

Through our Footsteps sessions we learnt individual and partner dances. The dances we learned were:

  • Shake Your Groove Thing – Alvin and the Chipmunk
  • Arabian Nights – a Bollywood dance
  • The Barn Dance – a bootscooting dance
  • Party Rock Anthem – a hip hop dance

Here’s a photo of us with our instructor Erin – we had a fantastic time learning all of our new dances.
