Empty Bowls


Congratulations to the 5W, 5A and 5/6 F for their amazing performances at Empty Bowls yesterday. Grade 5's did a fantastic job with their musical performances! Thank you for practicing so hard to make this such a great evening. I absolutely loved the story/play put on by 5/6F and Mrs. Finlay as well. We are so proud of you guys for raising over $1650 for Winnipeg Harvest.

Yodeling

The Grade Three students have learned a song called "The Austrian Went Yodeling" which has given us a look into this interesting way of singing. It is quite fun actually and the kids sound great when they are singing it. In the song we learned the concept of the "fermata" and that it means to hold a note longer than it's value. We also watched a fun video of a young girl yodeling and the students asked if I could put it on the blog. Here it is!

"Sing, Sing"

Thank you to everyone who made Music Monday a success. We had a blast performing "Sing Sing" as well as Viva La Vida, I Gotta Feelin' and the School Song! The weather made us come inside but the sound we got from our whole school singing was unbelievable in the gym. It was great to see so many parents out to see us celebrate Music in our schools! Be sure to check out the division website for a picture collage of our event. There is a bunch of different schools featured on the main page so when it gets to ours just hit the stop button so you can look at it. Maybe you will see yourself! http://www.pembinatrails.ca/
