We interviewed Mrs Ord in Music one. Through the week she has been teaching pupils songs such as Michael Buble’s Last Dance and Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull’s On The Floor. Many pupils chose this as their first choice to do during Creativity Week. We interviewed Mrs Ord and this is what she told us.

When we asked her what her favourite part of creativity week was, she said “it was the last bit of singing where I started to finish both songs and the group came together”. We also asked her about the groups. She replied, “I thought all of the groups were really good singers”. Mrs Ord has had 15 years of experience in singing with singing in pubs, clubs and hotels. If she was to get the groups to sing anymore songs they would be probably be by Glee. The final question we asked her was what is she most looking forward to see at the carnival, her answer was she wants to see the dancers dancing to Jennifer Lopez at the carnival.
