‘This is Us’ Performances

As our week long themed week around ‘The Greatest Showman’ came to a close, each class summed up their weeks experiences and learning through writing their own version of the award winning song ‘This is Me’. After each class performed their version of the song to the rest of the school, Mr Y and Mrs Biggs got together to collate all 9 versions to make a combined Brodetsky version.

We celebrated that it doesn’t matter what skin colour we have, what we look like, what are needs or disabilities are, what we are good at or who lives in our house. We all deserve to be treated equally and with respect. We should be proud of who we are and use our differences as our superpowers!

The lyrics to our Brodetsky version of the song:

This is us!

We’re not ashamed of who we are,

“Go away.” They say

“Cause you don’t fit in round these parts”

I’ve learned to hide my uniqueness

Come and play, we say,

We all love you as you are.

We won’t let them smash our confidence,

Brodetsky is for all of us,

For we are marvellous.

When a person falls and the tears come down,

But they do their best to smile not frown.

This is brave, this is bold,

We don’t ever fight or fuss,

This is us.

Look out cause here we come,

And we’re marching on to the beat we drum.

We’re not scared, to be seen,

Wearing our yarmulkies

Brodetsky!

Oooohhhh!

Even though we’re different we all win,

We stand tall, today,

We don’t let the shame sink in.

We are running to the finish line,

Shining like the stars.

We are marvellous!

That’s what we all are.

We won’t let them smash our confidence,

Brodetsky is for all of us,

For we are marvellous.

I’m gonna send a smile,

Gonna laugh them out.

Gonna be good friends,

We can scream and shout.

Show respect, and be kind,

We are one big family,

BRODETSKY!

Look out cause here we come,

And we’re marching on to the beat we drum.

We’re not scared, to be seen,

Wearing our yarmulkies

Brodetsky!

Oooohhhh

When a person falls and the tears come down,

But they do their best to smile not frown.

This is brave, this is bold,

We don’t ever fight or fuss,

This is us.

Look out cause here we come,

And we’re marching on to the beat we drum.

We’re not scared, to be seen,

Wearing our yarmulkies

Brodetsky!

Show respect, and be kind,

We are one big family,

BRODETSKY!
