We have been learning about Indian music, including some hastas (hand movements to depict animals in dance. Our Community Song is Never Give Up, from the movie, “Lion”. In the movie, an Indian boy becomes lost and is adopted by an Australian family. He never gave up on trying to find his way home.

Music Count Us In – Let It Play!
Our next Community Song will be massive! We will be performing this year’s Music Count Us In song, Let It Play! with extra help from student and parent musicians. Choir students have been practising singing in harmony, and Yr 5 and 6 students have learnt to play instrumental parts that fit with the song.
This song was written by 4 school aged students in only 1 day, with the help of Jay Laga’aia and John Foreman. It was inspiring to see how they collaborated to put the words and music together.
If your parent can play along on Friday November 4, ask them to send an email to jan.ruscoe@education.wa.edu.au and I’ll send the music, then we’ll get together for a rehearsal in Week 4.

Thanks, Mr Veldman!
Today was Mr Veldman’s last day at Glengarry. He has been a great friend and caring, guiding presence in our school. His passion for music and lyrics with great meaning is one of the things we really loved, and we will miss it.
We enjoyed singing with Will at gLee Club for one last time this morning.
