Fairy Tales

This month for "I Love to Read" month, our school is focusing on Fairy Tales and we are going to have fun with this theme in the music room as well. The Grade 4's have already started learning a song from a very new fairy tale that has been made into a musical. They will have something very special to perform at the end of the month assembly! The Kindergartens are going to have some fun with Goldilocks, the grade 2's have sung a funky song about everyone's favourite Gingerbread Man. The Grade 1's have been working hard to get a non-traditional fairy tale ready for performance as well. The Grade 3's are in the middle of a very intense unit on "The Planet's" so we are going to take a break one of these days to learn about Waltzing Matilda, a folk song from Australia. Even though, some of these on not traditionally fairy tales, we are going to have fun with them and see if they fit in some of the fairy tale criteria that we will be learning about.The Grade 5's will be learning about a fairy tale from the Caribbean since we are learning about Caribbean music and culture this term. Below is the book that we are going to be reading together "Jolly Mon" with a song by Jimmy Buffet to go with it.
