Hannah Fraser Visit

Today Hannah came to talk to us about music. She plays the grand piano at the hospital  and makes people happy by playing her music. She teaches people how to play different instruments. She showed us a jazz song and taught us a song called tiny bubbles. She sang us a french song when playing the piano. It is really cool to meet different musicians. Hannah is very talented!

Peace Poems for Pakistan

We are connecting with a school in Pakistan- a place that is not as peaceful as ours. We have been writing "Peace" poems and will share these with the school in Pakistan.

Music Festival

Costumes Clashing

People Shivering

Music Playing

Children sneaking

Dishes cleaning

Night Sky Darkening

Stars twinkling

Moon shimmering

Turntables turning

Drumsticks banging

Shakers crashing

Pots booming

Bells ringing

Butterflies flapping

Gorrilas thumping

Clothes shining

Fingers pushing

Pots donging

People singing

Parents clapping

Dragons flying

Aliens dancing

Lights flashing

Bugs shaking

Cheetahs crawling

Kids screaming

Birds flying

Buckets banging

Heads nodding

Babies crying

Magic flying

Haka chanting

Audience listening

Parents cheering

Our Special Guest: Rob and the Bagpipes

Bagpipes by Theo, Rim and Mitchell

As part of the music festival, guests are coming to tell us all about instruments and the music that they play. Today Rob came in to tell us about bagpipes. It was amazing. Bagpipes come from Scotland. He told us how the bagpipes work. They can make a continuous sound. We really like the sound of bagpipes. We also like marching and dancing to them.

Music Art

We created some music using jars containing different amounts of coloured water. Once we had composed our tune, we painted the tune in the appropriate colours on paper. Then we wrote about the different sounds that we heard and shared it with a buddy. Take a look at Seesaw to see individual composition. 

Yoga

We were happy, hungry, thirsty, tired and very proud of ourselves about the Music Festival last night.

We started the day on Wednesday with some Yoga to wake up our brains so we can be ready to do it all again tonight!

The Chefs

 

The "Crazy Cooks" are waiting patiently for the concert to start. 

They are excited and nervous about performing to lots of people.
