Handbell Ringers

Today we had a handbell presentation. The presentation was in the music room after lunch. All the grade 5s, 6s and my sister saw it. Why did my sister see it? Because our Grandma was in it! Since my Grandma was in it, I’ve seen them practice before. The performance was about 45 minutes long.

They played about 5 or 6 AWESOME songs. One of the songs was “It’s a Small World”. Mrs. McRorie runs the whole thing! Besides running it, she also sang a song from Cinderella. She was really good. Another guy played a song on guitar that he wrote! He did a very good job.

The handbells that they use are $35,000! That’s VERY expensive! Every bell was made of brass. They also have to keep them in a BIG case. Everybody was wearing gloves because if they don’t the oily stuff in your hands can damage the handle of the bell. They also wore rainbow scarfs from Guatemala. The money went towards buying stoves for people who don’t have one in Guatemala. 

The presentation was really neat. I hope they can come back again one time!!!

T.W.A.S.

Hello blog readers! This week we had Music Monday. A man named Chris Hadfield was doing his last live video stream from space. He was in the International Space Station which is in space for 6 months! He was the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station. He left in December 2012. He is still there. When he was in space, he sang his song “I.S.S” (Is Somebody Singing or International Space Station). We watched the live webcast and sang the song with him. That was on Music Monday. You can watch the video at the end of this blogpost.

We had basketball this week. We have practices and we are doing a lot of scrimmaging. We are going for a basketball tournament on Monday! There are going to be 10 teams there, and we are going to vs. them all. We are going to get Little Ceasers Pizza for lunch! I cannot wait!

You think that’s good? Listen to this:

This week we had 2 ep presentations! Cameron presented his ep (Expert Project). It was on Hockey. He showed us a bit of what he knew rules, tips, gear and some of the best hockey players ever. We also went to Ms. Wasney’s class to see Zach’s ep. He presented Barack Obama. It was cool. Good presentations to both of you!

Since Mrs. Tresoor’s class didn’t have any behaviour problems in April, we got blue bracelets! No one got any white slips. That was a nice surprise! If a class gets no white slips in a month, they get a surprise. Last time we won, we got frozen yogurt tubes!

This week we watched a video in health. It was on Drugs, teaching us not to smoke. What happened was there was a kid who wanted someone to play with, and he found a live cigarette. He went to an amusement park called “The Pack”. He never wanted to smoke after that. He rescued 2 kids who were working there.

Music Festival.........G O L D!

Hello Room 30 readers, today we went to the Music Festival! The songs we sang were Over the Sea to Skye and The Old Carrion Crow. We sang Over the Sea to Skye first then the Old Carrion Crow after. In the adjudicators review she said we rushed a little bit, but she liked the song and performance overall. There were three places, Gold, Silver and Bronze. Guess what we got…… *GOLD*, when we heard on the bus we got gold we were so amazed, everyone was cheering with astonishment. When we got back to school everyone was asking us how we did and kept repeating it over and over. The whole choir was so proud of what they had accomplished. Thanks Ms Wasney for taping the performance of one of our songs.
