Grease is the word!

Today room 8 and the seniors at Glenbrae School were fortunate enough to watch Auckland Girls' Grammar school's production of the musical Grease. Check out AJ's review of the show!

Grease is about a girl named Sandy from Australia who is an intelligent nerd. She likes a boy called Danny who is in a group of cool boys. A group of girls help Sandy to be with Danny.

My favourite part of the play was when they sang Grease Lightning because I liked the dancing. I liked that the actors all had a lot of confidence and they were talented. I would recommend this play to high school students as the story is set in high school. I'd tell them that it is about a nerd who wants to fit in. I would say that it is very funny and also very realistic.

Performing Arts

Today has been filled with performances at Glenbrae School. We were first fortunate enough to watch a drama performance by Storylines called 'Whats the Big Idea'. This performance promoted some great kiwi books and it was all about the power of the imagination.

In the afternoon we watched a play that the junior classes had created and a dance by Miss Adcocks dance club. Room 8 were very proud of AJ and Mathew, who each had a solo performance. The boys did some fabulous break dancing and knew the routine very well; ka pai boys!

NZ Dance Visit!

Today the NZ dance company visited Glenbrae School and we were lucky enough to watch them perform and have a workshop! We really enjoyed watching the show - it made us laugh heaps!

It involved a series of dances inspired by different cultures, music, sounds and ideas. This meant that there was something for everyone to enjoy!

After lunch we returned to the hall alongside room 7 for a dance workshop. We learnt a hiphop routine which was a great laugh! However we had so much fun dancing that we did not manage to take any photos - you will just have to believe us when we say that we were great dancers!
