Belmore South Public School

Book Week this year had the theme of Book Safari and we had a great time.

The teachers and our Librarian Mr Vitale organised all sorts of activities in the Library.

We had a Jungle Safari Performance which many of the students went to see.

During this week we have all worked really hard to earn money to buy more Home Readers for our school. We raised nearly $3000.00.

We had a Guessing Competition with the following great prizes: a bike, a DS Lite and games, an ipod shuffle, a teddy bear and a whole pile of Guiness World Record Books.

The Guessing Competition was drawn on Friday after our Book Week Parade.

The parents ran a Cake Stall so there was plenty of bad stuff to eat.

Wow!!! All the amazing characters that were walking around our playground were incredible. Check out the photos of the ugly group who are more often identified as the teachers.

The other photos are of the students who won their stage Best Dressed Competition as well as one of our teachers who won the Best Dressed teacher Competition. UGLY!!!!!

All the hard work, the determination and dedication have been rewarded by the accolades given to our dance group and their teacher after a great performance in the Our Spectacular at the Opera House.

All the performers looked amazing in their costumes BUT it was the discipline and precision as dancers that blew us all away.

Congratulations to the group and to Mrs Papadis who created the entire piece along with her talented troupe.

Thanks to Mrs Harrison and Miss Salmon who helped Ms Papadis on the day and to all the other teachers and parents who went to the Opera House to support our team.

Enjoy this short video clip of the beginning of their performance.

Recorders are on the increase in the playground around our school. They are the new fad as Jellybean Music inspires young musicians to play and enjoy.

As you can see from the short clip the students are totally engaged sight reading music, using their voices, percussion instruments and the recorder.

All our teachers are joining in and learning along with their classes.
