Miss Walter's grade 5/6 class from Captain John Palliser School came to 2School to further their inquiry of Collaboration within our community. Throughout the week they explored public art, the Field of Flame, and a variety of public parks and spaces ALL to gather evidence of community collaboration.
An opportunity arose for students to collaborate through music with the staff at
the CBE during the Board of Trustees and Chief Superintendent’s annual
Christmas gathering on Wednesday, December 9.
Ms. Sarah Walters and her grade 5/6 students sang tunes which delighted
staff. Under the guidance of their
music teacher Ms. Neufeld, students learned traditional songs with new
"Canadian" lyrics. A favourite story teller is Troy Towsin who wrote "The Original All-Canadian 12 Days of
Christmas" called "A Moose in a Maple Tree". Students
joined adults as they sang their part. There were many smiling faces as we all
sang this new, updated version of the 12 Days of Christmas - Canadian style!
