Cultural performance

This term we have been celebrating all the different cultures and backgrounds we have in our class and at St Albans.

We chose to learn a dance to the music Jai Ho, an Indian/Bollywood dance.  We chose this because we have quite a few Indian families at school.

A BIG thank you to Vicki  (Flynn's mum) and Debbie (Vienna's mum) for helping create the amazing outfits! Mrs Ford would have gone mad if it was left to her to make them.

Room 23 in their wonderfully colourful outfits.

Here is a wee clip of our dance we did on the day. Enjoy!

Newspaper technology challenge

Last Friday a mix of room 24 and room 23 students who don't go to choir competed in a technology challenge. The challenge was to create a gladiator outfit out of newspaper. It had to include: a shield, sword, armour and shoes. There was also room for creativity. Here are some of their creations and models.

Flynn the crusader

This was the winning team voted by room 22. They liked the creativity and that their design was well planned.
























There was a lot of great team work involved. Well done everyone. It looked like it was a lot of fun!
