Division 1 & 2 Presents...

The Wizard of Oz!

On Wednesday, Dec. 19, Division 1 & 2 performed The Wizard of Oz.  After six weeks of amazing dedication, practice, endless rehearsals, singing, dancing, set preparation, and much more, everyone pulled it together and presented with absolute perfection!  You made us so proud, and blew everyone at Errington away with your incredible talents.  Great work guys!!

Last week before Winter Holidays!!

Don't forget to check our blog for Homework and other updates and reminders.  Over the holidays, I would love to hear how everyone is doing and exciting stories or updates!  In order for you to have a place to do this, I have created a "Journal" page for you.  This is where you are all free to post stories, updates or any exciting news you may have over the holidays, or any other time during the year!  You are always welcome to post any comments or questions on any of the other pages as well.  I have updated our Term 2 Overview page, and have added a quote for the week.  I hope you all have a wonderful last week before the break, and enjoy all of the exciting things we have happening in Division 1!

I am so excited to see the final performance of the Wizard of Oz after all of the hard work and dedication you have shown.  You should be very proud of what you have accomplished to make it come together!  I'm also  looking forward to our party tomorrow:)

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

This was a busy week for Division 1!  Thursday's Hip-hop dance performance was spectacular! All the hard work everyone put in to learning and practicing their dance, in only 4 classes, definitely paid off; everyone should be very proud of their performance :))  Stay tuned for photos and videos.

Friday's Remembrance Day assembly was very well run, thanks to Division 3, and was very moving.  Division 1 and Division 2 recited the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae and "A Response to Flanders Fields" by Edna Jaques.  Both classes performed very well.

I hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend!

Happy Halloween!
