Beau's Pre-kindy Performance and Party

Beau's pre-kindy class had a presentation of songs that they've learned this year like "Frere Jacques" in French and English, "Jingle Bells" (Aussie version and traditional) and others like "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes".  Beau loves doing the actions!

Emilia's String Soiree

Emilia participated in the first annual string soiree at her school on the afternoon of Friday, December 12th.  She started playing the violin at the beginning of the year since Year 3 is the first year the kids can be picked to play an instrument.  (Year 4 the chosen play cello, Year 5 brass instruments, etc.) She was one of 6 chosen from her whole grade at the end of last year to play the violin!  She must have Aunt Kaley's musical instrument talent. 

She played "Missed It" and "Jingle Bells" with her class.  As the finale, all violins, violas and cellos played "Jingle Bells" together.

Her class: Chelsea, Emilia & Sarah

Emilia's Merit Certificate and Class Assembly

I'm way behind on pictures and just realized I had pictures from May on the camera! This was before Chris's parents came for a visit in July and August.  Emilia got a certificate of Merit at the assembly on  May 9th.

Then on August 1st, she had her class assembly.  And it was so well-timed that Chris's parents were here to attend!

Each class is responsible for a performance at the assembly throughout the year.  The teachers are so creative with the music and the outfits for the kids!  This year's theme was "People and Places Change over Time" with a special appearance from Marilyn Monroe and Elvis.  They sang "Time Warp" at the beginning and when they were changing the time.  The 1800s has piano music, 1900s had "Twist Again Like You Did Last Summer" and an Abba medley with the 2000s showcasing Katy Perry's "Firework".
