Jump Rope for Heart 2020

On Tuesday, January 28th Auburn Bay School had the kick off assembly for “Jump Rope for Heart”.  You will have noticed that your child came home with a fundraising envelope (if you did not receive, it will go home on Monday)  with details for online and in person fundraising (you can do both).  It also outlines the different prizes students can earn. You can begin fundraising as soon as you wish and return the envelopes to your child’s homeroom teacher once you have finished.  The deadline for the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser is Thursday, February 20th.  You can return your envelopes anytime between now and then.  Please make sure your child’s info is on your envelope.

Jump Rope for Heart is completely optional.  It is to bring awareness to heart health for the month of February.  

We will not be having a special Jump Rope for Heart wrap up event but the students will be skipping during Phys. Ed for the next few weeks. 

Our schools goal is to have more participants involved and fundraising this year than last year.

To sign up for online fundraising and more information about Jump Rope for Heart please go to the website  www.jumpropeforheart.ca and click on the following links and follow the instructions.

• ‘Join school’ – search Auburn Bay School

• ‘Join as new participant’ – fill in all your personal information, set a goal, invite your friends and start fundraising.

Mini-Talent Shows

Mini auditions will take place the week of February 3^rd.  Mrs. Bourgeois will also be posting this information onto the music blog with parents can access by going to https://auburnbaymusicmakers.blogspot.com/

Talent Show Information

For Grade 2 and 4 Teachers

AUDITIONS:

            Auditions (I am calling them mini talent shows to the students/parents) will be held in music class the week of February 3-7 in the music room. 

From these mini talent shows I will choose some students to perform in the large talent show that will take place on February 12^th in the morning 9:30am. 

Please put reminders on blogs every day calling them mini talent shows! This will help make sure children are practicing and well prepared.  I will provide you with a finalized list for the large talent show the Friday before the talent show.

Who: Grade 2 and 4 performers (everyone comes to watch)

When: Wednesday, February 12^th  

Where: School Gym

Time: 9:30am

TIME ALOTTMENT:  Remind children that their pieces should not be to long.  I have given each class a time allotment.  Depending on the talent in your class it may be one performer or three etc.

• GRADE 1 – 1:30 minutes (per class)
• GRADE 2 – 1;30 minutes (per class)
• GRADE 3 – 2:30 minutes (per class)
• GRADE 4 – 3:00 minutes (per class)

I will be holding a dress rehearsal/run through on Monday, February 10^th in the gym for the large talent show participants.  They must have all their equipment (music, costume, props, CD’s etc) at school that day.

The performers must bring their own props and equipment, with a few exceptions (gymnastics mats).

If your performer needs music for their talent they must bring in their own music on a labeled flash drive, emailed sound clip, CD or other device. 

Things that can be considered for the talent show (but not limited to):

• Gymnastics routine
• Dance routine
• Martial Arts routine: but has to be a choreographed/pre-planned routine
• Playing an instrument: practiced piece (no improvisation or making it up as they go and also no songs that have been played in class)
• Comedy: has to be appropriate jokes and must be funny
• Singing with or without music but the music has to be played quietly and the child has to really know the words.  Instrumental only is preferable.
• Made up song or rap
• Dramatic reading
• If you have some children who are very artistic and would like to bring in a piece of art work they may do that J we will put up a few easels in the hub.  They  must have a write up describing what the pictures is about and the techniques, materials they used.

*** These must be polished performances ***
