7. Sing!

Here’s a link to our Primary Days of Music songs. I’ve added a few more links to video and accompaniments for you to sing along with. You can even teach these songs to your friends and family and have a sing-along at home! In any case, have fun singing!

6. Time to Daydream

It’s almost vacation time! Even though we can’t go far away this summer, we can travel to all kinds of new places in our imaginations! And music can help to take us there. Hope you enjoy your trip!

5. Make Your Own Song!

Chrome Music Lab – Song Maker

I know many of you are spending lots of time in front of a screen so I’ve tried to come up with Music activities for you that are away from the computer. But for our last assignment this year, I thought it would be okay to try something online. Chrome Music Lab, here we come!

2. SOUND COLLECTOR

The world is filled with interesting sounds. And your imagination can make them even more exciting. Watch this short cartoon story and you’ll see what I mean!

Go for walk if you can, OR just sit anywhere outside or inside. Bring some paper and a pencil with you. Write down the sounds you hear.  For example – bird singing, car going by, people talking, water dripping, etc.  Imagine what else that sound could be. For example – the bird singing could be a star singing your favourite song, the car going by could be the sound of a whale swimming by you in the ocean. Do you get the idea? Now you can write a story using some of the sounds you have heard the things that you have imagined them to be.

Karin would love to hear from you! You can send her your lists of sounds and stories by email at karin.johnson@burnabyschools.ca

1. 7:00 PM SONG

At 7:00 pm every night, people around the world are showing their thanks for nurses, doctors and all those who are working right now to keep us safe and healthy.  Let’s join in and show our appreciation by performing a song together on our balconies and front yards. I thought we’d start with something easy:

Green Sally!

What?! You forgot Green Sally?!

That’s ok 🙂 First let’s review the actions. There were problems uploading these files so they are not perfect 🙁

 

Now let’s practice the song and then add the actions to it!

Green Sally up, Green Sally down,
Green Sally baked her possum brown.

I asked my mother for 15 cents,
To see the elephant jump the fence.

She jumped so high, she touched the sky,
And didn’t come back till the 1st of July.

Green Sally up, Green Sally down,
Green Sally baked her possum brown.

Now let’s make it interesting!

Below is the assignment that I tried to send all of you. Some of you might not have received it so I’m posting it here. Have fun!!
