BOOMWHACKERS!!

This week, students had the opportunity to use Boomwhackers!!! We learned that the longer tubes make low sounds and the shorter tubes make high sounds. We also discovered that the largest tube "C" made the lowest sound, while the shortest tube, also a "C", made the highest sound. 

Students were given the chance to perform different rhythms on the Boomwhackers by hitting them on the ground or with a partner. We explored what happens when you hit 2 different Boomwhackers together... it creates an interval!

Finally, the students were given the Boomwhackers they needed to perform a familiar song "Twinkle Twinkle" and were asked to try and figure out in which order the Boomwhackers needed to be played. 

We finished the class by performing the song "Twinkle Twinkle" as a whole class. 

Music Celebration 

The Grade 3, 4 & 5 choir performed last night as part of "Music Celebration". They sang two pieces, Sleep My Child and Swim Little Fishy.  Following their performance, they had the opportunity to work with the wonderful and talented Mrs. Hildebrand. 

Students will now continue working on these pieces for the next 3 weeks and then are off to perform at the Winnipeg Music Festival. 

Congrats to all choir members on a job well done!
