When out school performed at our Performing Arts Evening we started off by playing "The Gates of Orion". William and Claire - 5/6 Giallo

We all like Glenmore Road School Because our friends are really cool. We all enjoy playing games, We get school photographs in frames. We know our teachers are really great, Because they're under 48...... Except our teacher...... Imogen and Emily - Year 2

DRAMA In drama classes we play lots of fun games with our drama teacher, Justine. We also do a lot of work on our acting skills and work a lot of the time in groups. In "Special Drama" we still play some games but most weeks we practice doing plays. On the Performing Arts Evening the Junior Talent Group performed 8 Little Princesses which was a play we had written ourselves. It was our first public performance and it was a great success. Elizabeth and Kelly - 3 Rosso

PHILOSOPHY Once a week at school we have philosophy. It's about respecting other people's opinions. We read a fantasy story. We think - we think - we think Then we blink - we blink - we blink We then come up with some questions to do with the story which the whole group tries to answer. Claire - Year 5/6 Giallo

All our friends from Glenmore Road Are always in a happy mode. Once a week we get awards, And everyone gives us applause. Alania and Nushi - 4 Nero

ASSEMBLY All the classes line up outside the hall on Friday after recess. Once everyone has arrived in the hall, assembly gets started. First the teachers hand out Merit Cards to anyone who has won one and then there is an item. Each week a class shows some work, sings a song or performs a play. After the item is finished the house points and birthdays are announced and then we sing the National Anthem. The whole assembly is run by Year 5/6. Sam - 5/6 Giallo

ABORIGINAL CULTURE WEEK In Aboriginal Culture Week some Aboriginal people came to our school and taught us some dances, told us some stories and taught us some Aboriginal words. They taught us how to make ochre. You get some rocks, grind them up and add some water. We celebrate Aboriginal Week so that we can learn about Aboriginal Culture. It was unique and fabulous. Heydon, Charlie and Eppie - Year 2

THE COTTAGE The Cottage is a place where, if your parents can't pick you up on time, you can go to play. It is after school care. The Cottage used to be the Principal's house. At the Cottage there are Melinda, Sophie and Sam to play games with us and look after us. We can do things like marbling or play hockey or play in the sandpit and there's also things like face painting. We can go to the before school care and in the holidays as well. Robert and Eppie - 2/3 Azzurro

THE RAINFOREST The Rainforest area has been a part of our school for about three years now. Each child in the school has put in a lot of effort into helping with the weeding and planting of trees. Dylan - 5/6 Giallo

TENNIS LESSONS Every Monday I go to tennis lessons on our tennis court. My teacher's name is Susan. I like going to tennis because it's fun and I am getting good at it. I want to win some trophies. David - 2 Viola

CHESS Every Tuesday at school we play chess in Mr. Wallace's room. An experienced and talented chess player, Dr. Bodlander, comes in to teach the beginners how to play and to teach the older, more experienced players, some good moves, how to get quick checkmates, forks and traps. We play against other schools. Mr. Wallace and Dr. Bodlander choose 4 people to be in the team. Chess is a good game to learn to play if you don't already know how to play it. 5/6 Giallo

GREEK Every Thursday at 3.45, six people, including myself attend a Greek Class. The teacher is Miss Efe who teaches us the Greek alphabet, animal names, colours and heaps of other things. I enjoy Greek and I would like to thank Miss Efe for her hard work (and the lollies she brings with her). Taya - 5/6 Giallo

FRENCH A few people at Glenmore Road go to French lessons after school in the hall on Wednesday afternoons. We get taught by our fabulous French teacher, Emanuelle McDonald. We all like it very much. We think that she has put a lot of effort into teaching us. Some people have been doing it for a few years like us. Other people have just started this year. Sophie and Pascale - 3 Rosso

THE K-2 DANCE GROUP The K-2 Dance Group did the Cat Dance this year. We danced at the Seymour Centre and it was a groovy dance with groovy music. We were all black cats. Imogen and Emily - 2 Viola

THE JUNIOR DANCE GROUP

We joined the junior dance group because we thought it would be great fun and exciting - and it was! Mrs. Koffel is our choreographer and she is very good at it. She makes up some really good dance moves. For the Performing Arts night we danced to "Together Again" by Janet Jackson and we had a great time - but we were a bit nervous before we started. We also danced at the Seymour Centre as part of the Southern District Dance Festival. Lukas and Zeke - 4 Verde

Our Senior Dance Group consists of Year 5/6 students, both boys and girls, and it is not selective so anyone can join. We have performed at The Seymour Centre, Bondi Pavillion, The Westfield Shopping Mall and have given many performances at school. We have had a great time performing in front of spectators. Jaime and Jeremy - 5/6 Giallo

THE SENIOR DANCE GROUP

Some senior students from Glenmore Road belong to The Bondi District "Sing 2001" Choir. They rehearse once a week with choristers from 15 other schools in the District. They are eventually going to join up with other District Choirs across the State to perform at major events such as The Pacific School Games, the Olympic Festival, the Paralympic Festival and the Centenary of Federation celebrations to name just a few. Our next big event will be in Sydney Opera House. Ms. Halpin

The Senior Choir is a large number of senior students who sing for the Opera House Choir. We sing a great selection of songs. The Senior Choir rehearses every Friday morning in school and sometimes we join up with other schools to perfect all the songs.
