Hey! Hey! Look at Me!

 Hey! Hey! Look at Me! 

Kindergarten has been working with an action song called 'Hey! Hey! Look at Me!'

There are many Music curriculum connections with this song:

• moving to the beat
• listening and moving our bodies to show the high and low sounds
• music can be fast or slow
• music can be loud or quiet
• using our singing voice and speaking voice

Playing the Spoons

 Spoons

The Grade 5/6 students recently practiced playing the Spoons.  

We focused on:

• maintaining a steady beat at different tempos
• playing the spoons between their still hand and their lap.  We talked a lot about keeping the hand still while playing  - and producing the sound by playing the spoons back and forth between the hand and the leg.

Beatles Bracket Challenge

 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

 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!

 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!

It was so neat to see everyone dressed up in their Black and Yellow!
