As a big believer in the importance of Music for children’s enjoyment and development, Mr Chalmers has registered Portland Primary School for this Australia-wide music event, run by the Music Council of Australia.
The idea is that thousands of Australian students will be singing the same song, on the same day, at the same time, all around Australia!! The children were introduced to the catchy song, called “Sing” (funnily enough), this week during music classes. They will continue to learn it over the coming weeks, and Mr Chalmers hopes to get some budding musicians involved as well.
The big day is Thursday October 23, at 11.30am, so at this stage we have plenty of time. The words and music will be on the S Drive on the school computers if students are interested in practising outside class time.
Well, it’s the “day after” the big day, and Mr Chalmers is still buzzing. Night #1 of the Music Festival was a fantastic event that showcased the musical ability and enthusiasm of young people in Portland.
Mr Chalmers was especially pleased at the performance of the students from Portland Primary School. Despite their obvious nervousness, they dug deep, and delivered their best performance of “Chester’s Cool School Band” that he had seen them do. Whoever said “It will be alright on the night” was right! They sung beautifully, remembered all the actions and were at their theatrical best!
Thank you to all the students who gave up their time and energy to participate, as well as the parents who allowed their children to be involved, and who came along on the night to help.
