Japanese Drumming Excursion

This week all the students in Grades 3,4,5 &6 went on an excursion to Box Hill Community Arts Centre to watch and participate in a drumming workshop. The workshop was very engaging for all students, not only did the students watch a fantastic performance, but they also learnt how to play the drums. Each student was given the opportunity to get upon stage and learn how to play the drums. It was a fantastic event for all. Stay tuned for the videos!!

CIRCUS SKILLS 2011

Circus Skills lessons have started for 2011. It has been a fantastic beginning to Term 2, all the students in Grade 5/6A are loving the circus skills lessons. This year our trainer is Ben and so far we have been using hula hoops, poi, diablo, scarves and spinning plates. We have also tried some of the different balances. At the end of term all the grades will be going on an excursion to the Little Devils circus studio in Box Hill South. It will be a fantastic opportunity for all students and staff to have a go at the more challenging activities.
