Term 3, Week 10: Last week of term request session

This week we having a "request session" which means students get to ask for their favourite songs, videos and activities to sing, watch or do again.

This has become an all-time, much-requested  favourite, and we are all getting very good at working on the railroad...

We also get to listen to one of Mrs Vincent's and Mrs Lee's favourite stories from when we were young, when  children wrote to radio stations asking them to play a favourite song or story on the Children's Request Session on Sunday mornings: the story of the Waltz of the Flowers .

This is a video of  the Waltz of the Flowers from the Nutcracker ballet by Tchaikovsky.

We looked at The Grasshopper and the Ants story from Walt Disney's Silly Symphonies.   Last week we looked at how Vivaldi composed music to represent the season spring, and this week we looked and listened to how the composer of this music represented summer and winter. Listen for the theme music of the grasshopper and how the music changes to show how the ants were busy.
