For the art celebration this year we wanted to make it as interactive as possible for the students to explore the multiple ways in which the arts can be celebrated. 

For the unit, who we are, grades 1 and 2 explored how music affects our health and wellbeing. We discussed how music affects our mood and created music for different spaces and images. For our current unit, how we organize ourselves, we are looking at how symbols communicate musical ideas by creating a soundscape with our own graphic notation and performing it in groups. 

For KA & KB, Who We Are, we looked at music from around the world and for our first unit, how we organize ourselves, we are looking at how we can use different spaces around the school to further explore sounds and music making. 

Preschool’s who we are unit was all about the 5 senses and how we use them to discover and learn about the world around us. The students used a lot of movement, dance, and artworks to respond to music and experimented with different instruments in the music room as well as making our own musical instruments outside.
