This week Grade 2 enjoyed learning a song for Harmony Day. They came up with many great ideas about how we can respect each other.

Here are some of the lyrics of the song:

 

It’s not just about the clothes we wear or how we look, 

The colour of our skin, the kind of food we cook 

There’s more to you and me than just what meets the eye 

There’s all the different feelings that we have inside...

 

If you would like to hear the song, here is the link for you to enjoy:

Senior Music news:

Our newest ensemble recently started with a “BANG!”

Students were shown a video of professional Taiko drummers as role models for their learning. As you will see from the footage below, they all made strong efforts to approach their learning with self-discipline and focus required of potential performers. In fact, when it came time to pack up and go outside for a bit of fresh air and playtime, students didn’t want to leave!

 

Please click/tap here to see the students perform.

 

We are working towards a first performance early in May, as part of Japan’s traditional celebration of children. More news regarding this event will follow.
