Week of October 28th

Hello everyone,

It is really good to be back. Now that we are into November, all classes will begin focussing on their work towards the Christmas Concert in December. All of the songs have been chosen and we will begin practicing soon.

This week in grade 4, students have been putting the final touches on their summative presentations on instruments which will take place next week. I have attached the summative here for reference.

In grade 5 students were introduced to their Christmas song and we have been over some music theory, notes and terms in preparation for playing in band next week.

Grade 6s have also been putting the final touches on their music histroy summative, a presentation about a specific composer or band. They will present this next week or early the week after. I have also attached the summative here for reference.
