The Planets


This term, the grade 3 students have been listening to a composition by Gustav Holst called "the Planets." He has composed a piece of orchestral music for each of the 7 planets. This past week, both grade 3 classes made some artwork to decorate our classroom as we learn songs about Space and talk about the music we have been listening to. It was hard to fit everyone's artwork in the picture but you can see that everyone worked very hard on their creations.

Grade 2's Field Trip


The Grade 2's had a wonderful time at the symphony yesterday. Mr. Mark and Manny the Tuba were the hosts of the show and they were funny and entertaining. some of the highlights were the Russian Dancers, the acrobat, spanish flamenco dancers, aboriginal hoop dancer and singer,and singers who sang "A Whole New World" from Alladin at the end. Everyone had a fantastic time and we represented our school well. Thank you to the parent volunteers who helped us out!
