The Glenbrae School Concert
On Thursday I went to see the Glenbrae School concert. Renee and I had front row seats as Renee was doing the videoing. The theme was Around the World in 80 Days which is what they have been studying this year, each class looking at a different country in detail.
This is Phillip and Jodene who played the captains of the aeroplane.
These are some of the Year 6 children who played the passengers on the aeroplane travelling all around the world.
These are the New Entrant children who were doing a New Zealand item. Maori people have a traditional type of song and dance called Kapa Haka. They did a song called Toro Mai. They were very cute!
The Year 1 children in Room 5 were studying China and did a lion dance.
This is the Y3 children from Room 1. They did a very cool dance called Chori Chori from India. Don't the saris look lovely?
The Y4 children in Room 8 did a Scottish folk dance called the Waves of Tory. When they studied Scotland, they all most wanted to see the Loch Ness Monster.
This is their teacher, Miss Paton, who supported her class by wearing her tartan pyjamas during the Scottish dance!
Room 2 studied France and did a dance to Frere Jacques. They all wore red, white and blue like the colours of the French flag and had little ribbons on their wrists.
Room 9 (Y5) studied Egypt. They did a very cool dance to Walk like an Egyptian which Renee helped to choreograph. These were my favourite costumes.
These children are in Y6 and Jay, Renee's mum is their teacher. They were studying Peru, where the people celebrate the New Year by worshipping the Sun God. The boy at the back, Sam, was playing the Sun God in his big yellow and orange costume. This item was to a song called Reach up for the Sunrise and Renee made up the whole dance and taught it to the class. She was very happy with how it looked.
This is another picture of Room 7, just because Renee thought they were great!
At the end of the concert, the children all sang a New Zealand version of Jingle Bells which has some very funny lyrics! Renee has a copy of the concert programme and the words to the song to send you.
