Last week John Madden came to our school to teach all students, teachers and parents how to play musical instruments that he had made himself.
Kindergarten to Year 2 played the marimbas and the echo cellos in their concert. Years 3-6 added the music boxes, bikes and drums. The teachers played two songs with Mrs Hounsell, Mrs Frost and Mrs Fairweather singing along to one of them.
Mr Barnes and Mr Clare had to show coordination and skill to throw and catch their musical instruments across the hall. Many parents jumped on board for the last song (Always Look on the Bright Side of Life) and were quick to learn it and accompany 6R students who were on the boxes and drums.
Overall, it was a fantastic night and the whole school was full of music and wonderful sounds. Everyone enjoyed playing the instruments as well as the parents and caregivers or came along just to watch how talented our students are.
