Grade 4 did some music fundementals and rhythm work and we learned a new chord on the ukulele, E minor.

This week also, students found out about the main roles for Mary Poppins. Directly after March break, students will begin learning the songs and choreography in preparation for the show!

Have a great weekend!

Week of January 27th

This week we have been in a differnt classroom because of upper school examinations but have worked on some very interesting things. Grade 4s continue working on writing their own song. They are using technology for this and have also learned about intro, coda and a bridge and are incorporating these things into their compositions. Grade 5s have been continuing to learn about parodies and are in the process of analysing an existing parody. Next week, they will get to work on learning their own parodies! Grade 6s have been emersed in the music of the maritimes and have been learning about the meaning of 'Northwest Passage' and 'I'se the B'y. Have a great weekend! Mr. Oliver
