Thank You For the Music On Monday, May 7, Wawanesa School celebrated Music Monday. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 performed vocal solos, duets and instrumental pieces. We heard bongos, pianos, flutes, beautiful singing voices, and even a few parents who performed with their kids. Music Monday is celebrated throughout Canada on the first Monday of May. It is a wonderful way to see all the amazing musical talent that is going on in our schools and communities. Thank you for the music everyone!

Readers’ Theatre The Grade 4 class participated in two readers’ theatre performances. They presented "The Pig Who Cried Wolf" and "Puss in Boots-The Tricky Cat". They performed for a number of classrooms and their comedic timing was very appreciated! The Grade 4's have greatly improved their reading fluency and expression. Way to go Grade 4!

Jacquot French Concert On Wednesday, May 9th the Grades 4 and 5 students traveled to Deloraine to enjoy a French musical concert performed by Jacquot, who is from Montreal. Jacquot is one of Canada's favorite French recording artists for children and it was exciting that our students had a chance to see him in person. Jacquot has a knack for writing songs that children love to sing. His concert was very entertaining and the students participated enthusiastically, singing and performing the actions to his songs.
