This week we learnt a new individual dance. It was a Hip Hop dance and we had great fun learning it!
This week’s teacher was Erin and she’ll be our teacher for the next 2 sessions.
Here’s some photos of our session.
We also revisited past dances.
We redid our partner dance from last week called Arabian Nights, plus the Chipmunks item Shake Your Groove Thing.
Today our Middle Primary Choir performed at the Festival Theatre in Adelaide.
In the Middle Primary our boy’s and girl’s choirs practise and perform separately. Each group sang 3 songs.
Tahlia and Damien did a great job introducing each item and the choirs sounded great.
We had a huge audience to perform in front of – not just our families. There were lots of people listening to our singing.
Mrs Raynor was very helpful – getting us to rehearse every week and to be ready for our big performance today. Thanks Mrs Raynor- we LOVE working with you.
Here are some photos of our performance today – the videos are on their way.
Each performer received a certificate, wrist band and a chocolate frog as a special reward for their hard work and great performance today.
Here’s our first video – The Girls singing Super Chicken.

What did you enjoy about the choirs performance today?
How did you feel when you were singing in front of such a big audience?
Last week we started Footsteps dance. Footsteps is always lots of fun and we love going.
This year we are learning both individual and partner dances.
For the first dance we learned Shake Your Groove Thing by Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Here’s some photos of us shaking our groove things!!
Tonight we held Open Night at school. We all love Open Night as it gives everyone a chance to show their learning in every classroom in the school. Our choirs performed in the Hall, the Pedal Prix team held a BBQ to raise funds for their team and then classrooms were open for everyone to tour.
This is a wonderful opportunity for every student and their families to tour our school. We can share our learning in so many different ways- showing our books, work on display around the room, learning on computers and iPads or iPods, models we’ve made and the list goes on.
What was your favourite part of Open Night at Craigburn Primary School?
Last we we celebrated Bookweek in lots of different ways.
We read lots of the Bookweek books, worked with Mrs Langham in the Library (we read a Bookweek book called A Bus Classed Heaven and presented ourselves on a bus as community members – linking to our current inquiry unit), presented our learning at the whole school assembly, held a book sale – advertising books to our classmates and modelled this book sale for Miss Hunt’s Year 2 class, Paul read his own book called “A Sharing Community” at the assembly, we brought favourite books from home to share with our classmates and had a dress up day on Friday – we came dressed a book character fro on of our favourite stories.
Here are lots of photos showing you our fantastic week. We had so much fun celebrating books!
