Stars on Stage

Stars on Stage is finally here.

Rooms 4, 5, & 6 are so excited and some of us are very nervous.

Today we had a rehearsal at the Regent Theatre.  We all went down there on the bus and we only had 30 minutes to practice our dance on the stage.  There were lights shining in our eyes and we could hardly see the seats.

We have four different groups - Earth, Air, Fire and Water.  We all have been practicing hard and poor Miss Twitchin has had nightmares about things going wrong.

Water wear skirts and a blue top; Fire wear a mask and have red a

nd orange bits hanging off their arms; Air girls 

have a white dress and the boys have a cape; and Earth wore wraps with leaves.

The story is about the elements and how the usually get on together, but sometimes they fight.

We can't wait until tonight when the show is really on.

Bradford's Got Talent

As part of our unit on Celebrations, we held a Bradford's Got Talent afternoon.  Everyone was allowed to try out for the show but the classes were only allowed to choose three acts to show to the whole school.

We had heaps of people 'try out' in our class and Miss Robertson & Mrs Tobin said it was a really hard decision to pick the best three.

On the day, we all went to Room 1 and the children from Mrs O'Donnell's class went first.

They had a group of children sing a song from the Jolly Phonics programme and these three boys had some great moves to a song.

The other classes all had their turn - some girls from Room 4 did a hula hoop dance; Room 6 had some boys who played a series of sounds on the electric keyboard; and ... then it was our turn.  

We had magic tricks, singing and a balancing act.  Fabian can do hand-stands for a very long time.  He walks around on his hands to help himself balance.  Mrs Tobin told him to tuck his shirt in before he started but, as you can see, he didn't.  Fabian was amazing; he must practice a lot to be able to stand on his hands for so long.

Breana has a lovely voice and we were lucky to hear it as she nearly got stage fright.  Mr

 Hamilton played the guitar while she sang.  It was the first time she has sung in front of people, we hope that she is brave enough to do it again one day.

It was a fun afternoon and it was cool to see what talented kids we have at Bradford.

Our New Playground

Our playground has finally made some progress but none of the fun parts have gone up yet.  We hope it can be finished by the end of the year so we can all play on it.

Our PTA has been very busy raising money to get the playground finished.

We have had some new pipes installed to help drain the water away.  There were some men who came with a truck and a digger and they dug a long stretched hole.  They put a big pipe in first and filled it with gravel and then covered it back up again.

We're not allowed around the playground area at the moment but when it is finished the whole school will be up there.

Pals

Because we are an Active School, we like to keep busy in the playtimes and lunchtimes. We have a great sports shed and we are allowed to take gear out and play with it - as long as we put it back. Some days, some of the senior children run games and stuff like that for the rest of us.

The PALs (Physical Activity Leaders) were having a great time on Friday doing Jump Jam in Room One. The pals are Jacob, Samara, Sydney and Shaniia. They did a great job entertaining people. Everyone had smiles on their faces. There were lots of students in there dancing and having fun. Some children even gave the pals hugs. Hope you enjoy these photos
