Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra


The Grade 2's are very excited to see the WSO on Tuesday March 2nd. We have learned about all the music and composers and have even started to get to know the instruments of the orchestra very well. Our concert was cancelled in January due to weather so it was tremendous news to us that our concert was rescheduled. All Grade 2 students are reminded to wear some nice clothes for this event as this will make our experience all the more authentic. Thank you to parents who have bought tickets for the balcony so you can enjoy the music your child has been learning about. Bravo!!

Tacky the Penguin


The Grade One's performed "Tacky the Penguin" for the Kindergarten's at the end of January. Tacky the Penguin is a story about a penguin who is "different" than his friends. In the story we learned that "Tacky is an odd bird but a nice bird to have around." The students of Linden Meadows School have been performing this for many years and have all loved using instruments to tell this wonderful story.
