The children from Pre-School to Grade 2/3 entertained and awed the audience during our annual Spring Primary Concert.
The evening started with the Pre-School children rocking to the beat of the Chicken Medley, then proceeded to hammer the stage during the exciting Hammer Song!
The JK class stole our hearts with their song, "You Gave My Heart A Home", and surprised all the families with the cutest "I Love My Family" posters that solicited ooohs and aaahs from everyone in the gym. Their second song had the children reminscing about "Grandpa's Farm" with a memorable "Yeehaw!"
The SK class wiggled their way into our hearts with the song about Herman the Worm, who has the strangest eating habit (you had to be there to hear about exactly what he ate) - as he eats, he gets bigger and bigger until... he BURPS! Then, The Littlest Worm was so little that he found himself in an icky situation but thankfully, he had on his snorkelling suit! Their French song, "Fablanimo" was all about the fabulous animals on the farm.
The Grade One class sang about the wonders of teeth-keeping, from the Tooth Fairy's cisit to scraping the plaque off, to polishing their teeth to a shine. Finally, they taught us all about the importance of flossing teeth.
The Grade 2/3 class entertained us all with their three songs and skits. The first hilarious song was about a duck that demanded grapes from a lemonade stand owner. The class had us in sticthes with the twist in the ending to that song!
Then they sang a woeful song about how children should "Be Kind To Your Parents", because parents are going through a difficult life stage and need some sympathy! Finally, as their last piece, the children recited the poem "sick", and went through all the reasons why they should stay home from school. At the very end, they discovered that it was Saturday and miraculously, all the aches and pains dissolved and they ran off to play!
Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, family members and friends who came to watch the children. Thansk go out also to the teachers who prepared the children and the staff who helped with sound, light and decorations. Most importantly, thank you to the children themselves, who put so much effort and enthusiasm into making this such a memorable event!

Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Logel's personal collection of authentic pioneer items, including various original texts and dictionaries, the children participated in a day of being "back in the day" when children went to school without electricity or running water.
They used quill, ink and slates for writing and "sum practice", desk lanterns for light, worked from original school readers, baked scones and jam from scratch and played games that children played at that time.
