music

Hi everyone, we have had another great year of music at PHSOTA, with more students joining in on the Centra lessons for junior music time.

It is wonderful to talk with all our young students, and share all our favourite music and songs. A favourite "rap" song we have been singing this year has been "Hi, My Name is Joe, I Work in a Button Factory"..this has been a fun song to sing and do the actions to. Another song is "Watermelon", and we all like to sway along to the part that has no words, which is great fun.

Singing is a wonderful pastime, and it will always make you feel great after singing a few songs, so keep up all your lovely singing, especially when you have visitors to your place and you can have a "mini concert" at home.

Our recorder students for Years 3 to 7 this year have increased to 18. This is the most recorder students we have had at one time on PHSOTA. I really enjoy teaching the students recorder and everyone has really practised well to make their recorder playing sound so good. Recorder is an instrument which was created a very long time ago and out of wood. We use the plastic recorders, as they are easier to keep clean.

The students have prepared some items for the end of the year presentation, so well done everyone, on keeping up your recorder practice. A musical note to our year 7's who are departing PHSOTA; Do take your recorder with you to high school, so that sometimes you can play through your favourite songs, in between your studies, as this helps you to relax, clear your mind and take on the next challenge which may come your way. Music is a wonderful therapy for when you have to study hard. Best wishes to our students leaving PHSOTA this year, and may all your dreams come true.

PHSOTA is a wonderful school, and I am so proud to be part of a wonderful team of teachers who always have lots of smiles to share.
