Extravaganza 2011 Preparations Have Begun!
Excitement is in the air folks. You can certainly feel it as you walk around the school. Specialised groups are using every spare moment they can to rehearse for the event.
All 18 classes will be involved in the show and it will also involve 4 rock bands, the Senior Ukelele Orchestra, Junior Ukelele Orchestra, an Elite Dance Group and the School Choir.
Please put the dates in your diaries, phones and on your calendars.
Tickets will be on sale from the first day of term 3 at the office. The office staff will have a seating layout that you will be able to select your seats from. Obviously the sooner you get in, the better your selection. There are only 250 seats per show so once they are gone.....that is it.
It is one of the most exciting weeks of the school year so don't miss it!!

Elite Dance Troop for the 2011 Performing Arts Extravaganza
You will remember the 'Thriller' dance troop from our last Performing Arts Extravaganza. Thanks to Frith O'Hagan's expertise, the group were certainly a hit during our three shows.
It is with great excitement that I can tell you Frith has once again offered her time to another very fortunate group of students for the extravaganza this year.
If you are in years 5-8 and would love to be involved in this year's dance group, get along to the Performing Arts room at 12.40 on Thursday, 2 June with appropriate clothing and show Frith what you've got. (Don't be shy boys...you can do it too!)
See you there and don't be late!

JUMP JAM IS BACK FOR TERM TWO!!
What is Jump Jam?
Undoubtedly, this program is successful because it is
so much FUN! Our students just LOVE IT!
By enjoying and understanding the health and physicial
exercise benefits of aerobics, students eventually become
future role models by leading fellow students through the
routines and later instructing their communities.
Cultural movement concepts from NZ society are
included i.e. Haka, Polynesian, Latin, Indian,
South African, Spanish and even martial arts fitness.
Cardiovascular fitness is interwoven with dance,
drama and music to allow a creative self expression
for the students as they explore and identify a variety
of dance styles.
Students also relate with each other within the group
dynamic, sometimes working as one unit, other times
performing separate masculine and feminine cultural
movement patterns.

Please ensure your child knows which day their class has Jump Jam.
(Their classroom teacher will be able to tell them.)
They are to be dressed appropriately for the classes. Jeans are not to be worn for these classes. Each student should bring a water bottle as they are working very hard and heat up very quickly.
