November 7 - 10, 2016

This week ended with the Remembrance Day Assembly in the gym.

The Division I Choir sang, "Why Do We Have Remembrance Day?"

The Division II Handbells Club played "Purcell's Canon" with students from rooms 7, 8, 12 and 14 who played the following ORFF instruments:  xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels.

Rooms 7, 8, 12 and 14 sang, "May You Dwell in Peace".

This week, in the staff room they continued to play ORFF instruments.  We did touch a bit on each of their inquiry questions.  With grades 1 and 2 classes, we discussed a balanced sound.  With grades 3 and 4 classes, we discussed how each of the ORFF instruments were connected.  This helped the students to focus on listening to each other besides just playing each of their own parts.  With grade 5 and 6 classes, we did discuss what success was as we were playing the instruments.
