Beatles Bracket Challenge
The Grade 5/6 Classes have been learning about the music of The Beatles. We have been listening to 16 different Beatles songs and have voted on which ones are our favourites.
It was difficult to make decisions at times, but we managed to narrow it down to one favourite song for each class.
Ask your student what they learned about the Beatles and which songs were the ones that they enjoyed and found the most interesting!
Nothing More by the Alternate Routes - Lyrics
To be humble, to be kind
It is the giving of the peace in your mind
To a stranger, to a friend...
To give in such a way that has no end
We are love
We are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done
We are peace
We are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
To be bold, to be brave;
It is the thinking that the heart can still be saved
And the darkness can come quick;
The Danger's in the Anger and the hanging on to it
We are love
We are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done
We are peace
We are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
Tell me what it is that you see
A world that's filled with endless possibilities?
Heroes don't look they used to, they look like you do
We are love
We are one
We are how we treat each other when the day is done
We are peace
We are war
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
We are how we treat each other and nothing more
We are how we treat each other
Kindergarten Concert!
The Kindergarten students were all a buzz at their Bee concert on April 27. They enjoyed sharing their work, dances, poems, and songs with an audience. They sang Bee-utifully and had a wonderful time!
Wild Symphony
Our Wild Symphony work is complete!
I have enjoyed watching how engaged the Grade 1/2 students have been as we have explored this book's characters, instruments and the Musical learning that has happened along the way.
Wild Symphony books have been sent home as the students are anxious to share them with you.

Rondo Alla Turca - Fun With Composers
The grade 3/4 classes have been listening, singing and dramatizing with Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart.
We have been using the Fun With Composers program. The creater of this program (Deborah Ziolkoski) writes fictional stories to accompany Classical pieces of Music. The story for Rondo Alla Turca is called The Mystery of King Lou.
After listening to the Music and the story, the students dramatize the story through movement, dance and singing.
Below is the link for Rondo Alla Turca if your child would like to show you our work from the classroom.

Hello LBS families,
In the weeks after Spring Break we will be working on the following in Music:

Grade 3/4 - We will be moving, singing and playing instruments to some well known pieces of Classical Music.
Grade 1/2 - We will be finishing our work with Dan Brown's Wild Symphony as we are almost at the end of the book!

Have a Wonderful Spring Break,
