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 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
This week your goal is to remember your dance without looking at the video.
Remember – the more you practice, the better you will get.
Please send me a photo or a short video showing me how you are going.
