Today we walked to Gilmore Community School to take part in the annual Primary Days of Music festival.  We joined our hosts, Gilmore, and four other elementary schools – Buckingham, Lyndhurst, Parkcrest, and Capitol Hill – in singing many songs ‘en masse’.  Each school also sang two songs on their own.

Our group behaved (fairly) well.  I thought their two songs were quite lovely and they seemed to enjoy singing with so many other children all at once.  All in all, it was a great experience for all – especially the grade ones who are not included in this festival in most schools.  This is traditionally a festival for only grade two and three students.  Being a small school does have its benefits.
