Clubs

On Friday afternoons at Loburn school the year 1-8's are having a clubs day. We have done this because as we are not training for x-country anymore we have a big chunk of our day that we would not have anything to do. The teachers and some parents are running the clubs and are doing a very good job so far. Thank you parents for coming in and teaching us some new skills when you could be sitting in a comfy seat with a cup of coffee and reading a book, especially in winter!

I have chosen band/choir as my club because I like to play the guitar and sing along to songs on the radio. In the band part of the group we have smaller groups as we have multiple drummers, pianists and guitarists! In my small band there is Me, Haylley, Brooklyn, Benj and Rys. (I think!!!) and the song that we are doing is "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth.

I enjoyed being able to move freely and just relax. I also found it interesting that there were so many people that weren't doing anything and watching other people or people teaching other people and some of the boys were playing with the microphones and doing some terrible singing!!! Our teacher that is in charge is Mrs Steele. She is also doing Choir, so the first 15-30 minutes she will be with the Choir and help us practice songs and then the kids that are in Choir and band will go to the Mt Thomas room to practice their songs and Mrs Steele will help us with our songs.

My goal is to learn and play three different songs and be able to change between chords fluently and quickly!
