May is only half over and there is already so much to share! Grade 4 Orff Day On Wednesday, May 8th, five Grade 4 students took part in the Pembina Trails School Division Orff Day at My Church. The theme of the day was a Chorus of Colour and our VW students were part of the yellow group. Throughout the day the students enjoyed a variety of musical workshops including movement, recorder, barred Orff instruments, and choir. They presented their learning at the sharing session for family and friends at the end of the day. Grade 4 Field Trip to the WSOOn Wednesday, May 15 all three grade 4 classes went on their annual field trip to the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. This year's concert was more special than in previous years as VW students were chosen to be a part of the Composition Project with WSO composer-in-residence Harry Stafylakis. In November, Mr. Stafylakis visited our school to hear 4H's class composition based on the poem City Autumn by Joseph Moncure March. Inspired by the class Orff composition, Mr. Stafylakis took the student's ideas and incorporated them into a full-orchestra composition written for the WSO. Yesterday, we were lucky enough to hear this beautiful composition in full performance. It was a really exciting and memorable moment for our Grade 4 students.
