Congratulations!

Congratulations to everyone who performed at the Carnival today at our school. It was a busy afternoon but we were so happy that some of you found the time to show us your wonderful talents.

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/

Music Monday

The students of the K-5 Music Classroom are getting very excited for Music Monday. This will take place on Monday May 3, 2010 at 11:00. We will be performing the song for this year "Sing Sing" by Serena Ryder outside (hopefully) for our community to hear. We along with schools across Canada will be singing this song at the same time to celebrate music in our schools. Please come out and support this important day! Check out our video from last year on the Pembina Trails Web Site www.pembinatrails.ca , it is on the right hand side under videos and it is labeled "Music Monday."

Grade 5's at the Symphony

On Wednesday March 24, the Grade 5 students will be heading to the Centennial Concert Hall to see the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. We have been preparing for this concert by learning about the music, instruments and composers that will be featured. Just a reminder to Grade 5 students to get your permission slips and money in ASAP! Also I have asked that you dress appropriately for this concert so we can have the real experience of a Symphony concert!

Oz

Congratulations to all students who participated in "Oz"! There are just no words to express how amazing you ALL were. Everyone put on a performance of a lifetime!! I know we will not soon forget these days preparing and performing this musical. You should all feel very proud of the work you have done.
