The infants children finished the term today in Little Italy by watching the DVD on Pinocchio. It was just magically to see their faces and hear their laughter as Pinocchio and Geppetto took us on a wonderful journey.

• We learnt that music is used to show how the characters are moving. Fast music is played when the characters are running and slow music is played when the characters are sleeping.


• We watched as different characters from countries other than Italy danced on the screen. We learnt that the clothes they wore helped us to identify where they were from.


• We discovered that in the 'olden days' there was no electricity. People carried lamps that had candles in them so they could see at night time.

I would like to wish the Bethany Community "Buona Pasqua" (Happy Easter) and I am looking forward to Term 2 where we will be looking at animals, family members, seasons, body parts and festivals. Mrs Sciacchitano

Bethany Idol

Over the last couple of weeks students at Bethany have been participating in class talent shows known as 'Bethany Idol'. Each class (primary years 3 through to 6) runs the whole show, from judging, hosts, camera person, score person/s right though to running the P.A. Judging is a tough job and the kids take it very seriously! We have some fantastic talent at Bethany, not just singers but comedians, musicians, poets and actors. Some kids get dressed-up to help make their act more realistic and entertaining. These girls mashed together three songs that had dramatic scene changes. There was also some wonderful musicians that entertained us with their skills. Everybody is looking forward to next term as we will do it all again with a showcase performance to be held in the school hall in week 9. It's a privilege to teach these very talented bunch of kids. Until next time Regards Mr Green
