The VSO Trip and Socials "Study Groups"




















Today we went on a brilliant trip, organized by the Music Department, to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The VSO designed a wonderful programme which was a "trip around the world" theme featuring pieces from Canada, the USA, Mexico, Austria, China, Russia, and South Africa. The South African piece had lyrics as well, which the children had practiced leading up to this trip in their music lessons. It was wonderful to hear all the children singing with the VSO!

In Social Studies today, we talked about the upcoming test (this Thursday 19th November) and we looked at an outline of the type of information that will be on the test. Then, the children broke up into "study groups" and started to revise some of the material on the study guide. I was so impressed with how well the boys and girls worked together to revise the material that I took some photos to show you!
