Grade 1s have been travelling the World through music. We have been inquiring about the Central Idea: Communities use music for specific purposes that reflect their values, beliefs and traditions.
On this post you can see both classes in action:
Grade 1A are performing a Japanese lullaby, called Asadoya Yunta. Here they showcase how principled and what good communicators they are, by following the conductor’s instructions and sticking to the performance plan:

Grade 2A are performing a Kenyan song, called Jambo Bwana. It is a lively greeting song and we describe African animals by introducing elephants, lions and monkeys. They showed great enthusiasm!
You can watch it here.
Here you can also find some of the songs we have been learning. Enjoy your journey!!
Thank you Mr. Fernando for uploading the videos of Grade 1. And thank you Grade 1A for a beautiful performance. I love this song from when we performed it in PK5.
Tjasa, Liv, and I love the Kenyan song. We sing it all the time. We had a show last Thursday for our parents. We have a great video of our singing. My mom will send the video to Mr. Fernando so he can show it in our music class and in our music club.
Hi Leila,
Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed the songs. We will continue to learn more this year and many more next year in Grade 2.
I can’t wait to see that video!!!
Mr. Fernando,
To my surprise, all of our favorite songs were on the link with the African song. Thank you so much! I love La Morena, Mambo, and the Japanese lullaby.
Thank you for introducing us to such great music!you are the best!!!!!!!!!
