Continuing our musical theme after the projects, we created guitars last week. We were inspired by the colourful cubism of Picasso, and explored warm and cool colours. First, we sponge painted a background of either warm or cool colours. When dry, we cut out guitar shapes and then swapped our scraps with another who had painted with different colours. We then created a sound hole and bridge for the guitars using the opposite colour scheme. Finally, we added buttons and gold ribbon for the strings. They look amazing and really brighten up our noticeboard!
On Monday December 15th, fourth class took part in a singing concert in the Auburn Lodge Hotel. This was the culmination of lots of hard work that we've put in with Mary, our Music Generation tutor, every Wednesday morning for the last ten weeks. We travelled to the Auburn Lodge in a bus and arrived there at 10.30am, ready to rehearse! There were two other schools taking part, Scoil na Mainistreach Quin and Barefield N.S.
The performance began at 1pm, and lots of parents came to see it. We sang five songs: Engine Engine, Three Quotes, One Child (which was our solo song), Star Carol and Yenamanoa. The concert was a great success and we really enjoyed it! Chanamar amhrán 'An bhfaca tú mo Sheamaisín?' le déanaí. Amhrán traidisiúnta is ea é. Bhaineamar an-spórt as é a chanadh sa rang! Is féidir leat éisteacht leis an t-amhrán anseo ar YouTube. Féach ar na liricí thíos: An bhfaca tú mo Shéamaisín, Mo mhaicín óg, mo bhuachaillín, An bhfaca tú mo Shéamaisín, Is é ag dul síos an bóthar? Níl bróg ná stoca ar a dhá choisín, A dhá choisín, a dhá choisín, Níl bróg ná stoca ar a dhá choisín, Níl hata air ná cóta. Ag dul ar scoil tá Séamaisín, Mo mhaicín óg, mo bhuachaillín, Ag dul ar scoil tá Séamaisín, Is a leabhairín buí ina phóca. Ar a dhroim tá máilín beag, Tá máilín beag, tá máilín beag, Ar a dhroim tá máilín beag, Is a lóinín ann is dócha! An bhfaca tú mo Shéamaisín, Mo mhaicín óg, mo bhuachaillín, An bhfaca tú mo Shéamaisín, Is é ag dul síos an bóthar? |
