Choir Dress Rehearsal

On Tuesday 5th of July some of the children in Room 18 did not have a normal day. The students who are in the senior choir went on a bus to Sommerville Intermediate School to have the final dress rehearsal before the music festival on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. From our class, there are 13 students in the choir. They are all girls. So, our teacher only had half of the class on Tuesday. I wonder if it was hard for her...

When we arrived at Sommerville we were shown where to sit on the bleachers and chairs. We used the new Multi-Purpose Facility. It was a very big hall, even bigger than our hall.

We practised 18 songs which took us almost all day. It was extremely hard to remember the Japanese song called Moon at the Ruined Castle. It was hard because it was all in Japanese and we all had different parts to sing. Because the rehearsal took such a long time, we ended up coming back late to school.

The choir will be performing at Sommerville. A very talented teacher called Mrs Field is directing the show. There are 3 other schools doing the performance with our school. They are Sommerville Intermediate, Botany Downs Primary and Willowbank Primary.

Sad News

First off, I would like to apologise for the lull on the blog.  We were still learning and busy with many projects and events in the classroom.  The blog will continue to be updated by the students of Room 18 and there are some blog entries coming  up, so please stay tuned!

We have had many successes and fun things happening in our classroom but unfortunately, this post is going to be about sad news.  I (Miss A) am going to be leaving New Zealand to go overseas to be with my family.  It has been a tough decision as I love living in New Zealand and absolutely love our school and the class.  However, sometimes we need to make tough decisions and this was mine. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the parents for their support and kind words and also the audience of this blog.  :)  Most of all, the students of Room 18.  You have been so awesome and I will miss you all dearly!
