Students practiced their compositions, songs and dance pieces in small groups. Part of the process of creating and responding to music was to be able to reflect, refine and develop each performance piece to a high standard, where students could feel confident to express their ideas and creativity.
Grade 5 students create their own songThe talents of Floor, Auriane, Ran, Christina, Yonguk and Clare were shown last week as they created their own lyrics using the song "Can you feel the love tonight." They will sing this at UN night but a slightly shorter version.
You can change the future The chance is in your hands You can turn the world around Coz the future's now The pearl inside the oyster Is like the heart of earth It's our destiny to keep it safe No matter where we're from Believe in who you are Can't you see the future's now? The earth is ours to keep Never too late to change our destiny Believe in who you are Don't you want to see a world That's full of harmony It's possible to change our future As one big family Chorus If that's what we want earth to be A happy paradise We better start taking action for our home It's all up to us! Chorus Grade 5 students are currently learning the "One World Song" sung by Dionne Warwick for the UN Night which will take place on the 9th October. We've changed some of the words to fit the theme: "The Future is Now/The World is our Oyster." In addition to this, students are preparing a mime/dance/percussion piece that they are creating themselves, with the support of Ms Stacey and the Grade 5 teachers.
Hear Dionne Warwick's version here:_ One world, free from poverty One song, to bring equality One world, one song For all humanity Verse 1 I want to see a world that is much brighter, Where burdens are much lighter in our hearts; A time when we are there for one another And no-one stands alone, afraid, apart. A single voice is weak Just a whisper in the dark, But millions joined together will be heard... Let's be heard! Chorus One world, one song; Sing loud and proud and be strong Bring suffering to an end; Stand side by side, and We can turn the tide, we'll be One world, one song. Verse 2 We want a world where suffering is no longer, Where children grow stronger every day; The right to share in all the earth can give us Is our joy and we will lead the way. We have the power within us; The strength to be the change; Together we can shape our destiny. Sing with me! Chorus |
