Hi everyone,
I hope you had a fantastic Christmas Day yesterday and Santa brought everything you hoped for!
Just thought I’d let you know that there is a brilliant article on our Charity CD on p4 of this week’s Rutherglen Reformer that came out today.
Enjoy the rest of Boxing Day! I’m off to play FIFA 13!
Merry Christmas everyone. See you next year!!!
Thank you to everyone who ordered a copy of The Hallside Charity Christmas Single 2012. It has been a great success. I’m sure you’ll agree that they are very professional looking and wouldn’t look out of place on the shelves of a high street music shop! Well done to Ellie Stewart in P3 who won the competition to design the cover.
I hope you all like them (everyone I know is getting one for Christmas this year!). It’s a great thing to keep. I’d love to hear your comments – post them here at the blog.
We raised an amazing £572, and we have sent it to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal. You should all feel very proud of yourselves. Look out for a report on it in the Rutherglen Reformer over the Christmas Holidays.
Merry Christmas,
Mr B
Remember everyone it’s a 2:30pm finish tomorrow.
Remember to get your orders in for the Hallside Charity Christmas Single by Friday to guarantee a copy. The radio team played it during their show on Monday and it was very well received. It will be a great memory, fabulous Christmas gift and, of course, will hopefully raise a good amount of money for The Salvation Army to help struggling families and the homeless at Christmas this year.
I have been round to hear lots of classes singing their songs for next week – I’ve heard Let it Snow, Sleigh Ride, Santa Bring Me a Dinosaur, I have a Dream, Do they Know It’s Christmas, Oh Happy Day and Oh Holy Night. They are all starting to sound really good. Keep up all the good work and rehearsing any time you get a spare moment (and a room to rehearse in of course!).
On Friday we’ll get the chance to have a go on the stage with all the mics and lights etc. Then we’ll have full dress rehearsal on Monday.
Can’t wait for the first performance of the P1 nativity, Hey Ewe, tomorrow. Nothing gets you in the mood for Christmas like the p1 nativity.
The latest instalment of the Hallside Radio Show can be heard on Monday 3rd of December between 1pm and 2pm. You can listen in on 106.6fm or at camglenradio.org.
This will actually be the last ever school broadcast on Camglen it its current format before they take on their 5 year commercial broadcast licence.
On this edition of the show the pupils will be bringing you all of the latest news and sport from around the world and in Hallside as well as tv, games, christmas food and present tips and of course, as always, we’ll have our exclusive Hallside Radio Show interview, this time with Romeo from Radio Clyde.
We will also bring you the exclusive first ever airing of the Hallside Charity Christmas Single, so tune in, or miss out!
The Senior Boys’ Football Team played their opening league fixture on Wednesday and got off to a great start with a 9-2 victory over Spittal. There were actually 6 of the 9 players making their debuts and they did us all proud. After a nervy start, where Hallside twice took the lead, before conceding equalisers, they took command of the game and made the 3 points safe. The team consisted of Andrew Rushbury in goal, Adam Costello and, captain, Andrew Greenen at the back, with Feraz Tanveer helping out there too. In Midfield we had Keiran Stewart, Lewis Cameron, Rhys Conner and Euan Coleman and up front was Reece Paterson. Well done to all of the players and to the coach, David Hamilton. A great start to the defence of the title they won last year.
Well done everyone for the recordings on Friday. We managed to get all 550 pupils’ voices recorded and it sounds brilliant. It is now just a matter of attempting to edit together the recordings from the two separate assemblies, the actual piano music and some of the soloists picked out by the teachers.
Thanks for all of the entries so far in the competition to design the front cover. We have been studying them all very carefully. Any final ones to be handed in should come to me by last thing on Monday and the winner will be revealed soon.
Listen out for the first ever airing of our single – it will be played on The Hallside Radio Show on Camglen Radio 106.6fm and camglenradio.org on Monday 3rd December between 1pm and 2pm.
