Spring Concert

We had a spring concert on jazz. It was called “The Sounds of Jazz”. The concert was filled with amazing songs called (in order) “lets jam”, “hambone”, “step back baby”, “old enough to sing the blues”, “one potato two potato”, “dukes place” and lets jam reprise!!! My part in it was the xylophone. I played 3 patterns. My favourite part was the lets jam reprise it was so live and full of energy. And the surprise ending was the best we totally tricked them. I really enjoyed the performing because it gives me a happy feeling inside. My mother thought that it was really nice performance. Great job everyone! Enjoy watching the videos of our performances.

Here we are performing One Potato Two Potato.


This is the Let`s Jam song. Our actions are really good!

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.

Caine's Arcade

Ms Wasney reminded me about a video we watched last year featuring a nine year old boy who made an arcade out of cardboard! We have been working hard on our design projects for forces and motion and this seems like perfect timing. Watch and be amazed! This will put a smile on your face. Let your imagination fly. . . . .

Pourquoi Tale Presentations

Today we went to see a few classes do their Pourquoi tale presentations in room 33. Have you ever seen one performed live? Today we watched 6 Pourquoi tale presentations. The first one we watched was our little buddies in grade 1. They did how the deer got its antlers and it was good. Mrs. Wallace’s class did how the black bear got its color! For both the gr.2 and gr.1’s they had two gr.6’s narrating. Lucas and Maxelmae and Terry and Amy were the narrators. The next class was 3M/D and they did why the beaver has a flat tail and it was really good.  After the gr. 3’s then 4D went and they did why wolves howl at the moon they also did a good job on the narrating because they spoke loud. After that it was our turn and we are doing how the buffalo got its horns and our narrators are Hunter and Alex. The animal that I played was the helpful beaver but I had to play beaver too because Colin is away. That was it for the morning but we did more in the afternoon. In the afternoon we saw Mrs. Henry’s class and narrating for them was Ashleigh and Dana. We also saw Ms. Wasney’s class and they had really good masks. The part I enjoyed the most was probably the masks. Wow what a great way to end our AAA project with these great presentations! Here is a video of our Pourquoi Tale.

Little Buddies

Today for little buddies we read a poem called, "The Owl" and we made paper owls. It was great to see the students read the poem with actions and create their owl. Thanks Ms Wasney for sharing this activity with us!

Design Project: Weather Vanes

In science we have been learning about weather and wind, so as a class we got to make weather vanes. The weather vanes had to have the four cardinal directions and a base they also had to represent a skydiving company. Every student had a logbook, and in the logbook it had questions, materials you had to use, there was also space for you to draw your sketch and (label) it. But first came planning, we started the project on Nov.5^th and ended it on Nov.13^th. In the planning section it said “This is a very important part of designing! "  

In the problem section it said… you are working for a local skydiving company and have been ask, to make an instrument to determine wind direction. You need to make a weather vane to meet the following criteria. My group was named Sky Masters, and the people in my group was Felicia and Riley and of course me. If you’re wondering how we tested it let me tell you, Mrs. Tresoor brought a blow dryer to school and then we put our weather vane on the table then she tried it at low speed and at the high speed and ours worked. It worked by the air blowing into the straw and out of the back. When Mrs. Tresoor stood at north the arrow would point into the blow dryer.   

 It was an awesome science project. I really liked making the weather vane.                                       By Melina

Amazing Grace

Today was our Remembrance Day assembly. There were excellent performances by all the groups involved. The grade 5 and 6 Recorder Club played Amazing Grace. Sadie, Hunter and Braden are members of the club from our class. Kirstyn is the other member and she is in grade 6. When the students came back to our room they played half the song again so it could be recorded. Enjoy. Take time this weekend to remember all those who helped to make our country a great place to live.

AAA Story Telling Presentation

Today we presented our version of the story, Nanabosho and the Butterflies to Mrs. Kohut's class and Ms. Wasney's class. It was great to have a live audience! Here is our performance.
