Students had so much fun prototype narratives on Friday afternoon during our Serious Lego Play Workshop.
Today at the Young People Concert the students had a special performance from Metaphor. These hip hop artists taught students about the history of Hip Hop and how they use their music to build community empowerment and social justice. Using the hip hop arts–DJing, Breakdancing, Beatboxing & Emceeing–the Metaphor crew had us free styling, beatboxing, and dancing during their energy filled performance. They were very inspiring and we are all now pumped to write our own raps.
This integrated unit involved:
ADST -prototyping, food safety, and making their pizza to show creativity, originality, and bold flavors.
Math-financial literacy (budgeting).
Health-Nutrition and menu/recipe planning and the exploration of healthy/unhealthy ingredients.
French-food vocabulary and how to order pizza in French.
Students really enjoyed planning for this activity and made some incredible pizzas. The whole school smelled amazing and the judges were left salivating over their final creations. Once the pizzas were judged, students got to enjoy their final creations. They all turned out great and there was very little if any remaining pizza. Well done Division 3!
Today for Young People’s Concert students got to see Kutapira perform.  Kutapira is a fusion of Zimbabwean Marimba, Afro-Cuban & West African rhythms, Reggae, Samba, Afrobeat, Funk, Jazz, Cumbia, Disco and Hip Hop.Â
What started out thirteen years ago as a youth world music initiative has metamrphosized into the crowd pleasing percussion explosion known today as Kutapira.
The name Kutapira means “sweetness” in the Shona language of Zimbabwe, a fitting title for a band that plays a fusion of Zimbabwean marimba with West African and Afro-Cuban percussion.Â
For years they performed exclusively as a mallet swinging, skin-slapping quintet but now, in their latest evolutionary form, feature guitar, vocals and electric bass.
Students thoroughly enjoyed the performance and liked learning about the different instruments and how they are constructed to create their sounds.
The Burnaby School District provides students with access to a variety of digital tools, which include technologies and information systems. These tools enhance learning and include: websites, programs to “chat” and message one another, discussion boards, video conferencing, email, secure virtual classrooms, and storage for your files.
Students – or in the case of younger children their parents or guardians – are asked to review and are expected to adhere to these guidelines.
