Week 8 (Aug 31st): Grades Prep to 6 Remote Learning – Concert DVD Cover Design Competition
This week you are required to create a design which will be used on the cover of our Concert DVD. I would also like to use the design to help advertise our show. Although this is a work requirement, it is also a competition, with a prize for the winning entry. This has been a tradition at Woodford Primary school and is a great way to build excitement for producing a wonderful concert. All designs will be displayed at school when we return.
We are still planning to perform our concert on stage at the Lighthouse Theatre, produce a video and live stream our performance. We have one term left so fingers crossed.
Please read the instructions below carefully.

Here are a few past winning entries to help you.
Please keep your design in a safe place until you can hand it into your classroom teacher or Mrs Dowie. It would be wise to keep it in a plastic sleeve so that it doesn’t get crinkled.
I would love to receive a photo of your design. Email: jennyd@woodfordps.vic.edu.au

Week 5: Grades 3/4/5/6 Remote Learning (Aug 10th) – Whole School Concert Finale: I Am Australian
I Am Australian
It is important for you to learn this Whole School Finale song for our concert.
Learn to sing the words but concentrate on the first 3 verses and the chorus.
Once you know the tune quite well, have a go with the karaoke track. The first verse will be quite tricky but don’t give up.
Didgeridoo Players
I will be looking for someone to play the didgeridoo. If you can learn, or know anyone who plays, please let me know.
Solo Singers
I may have a part for a solo singer/small group of singers for this song. If you are interested in this let me know and if possible, email me a recording of you singing one of the verses and the chorus.
