The Grade 3/4 class has been working on Voice all year. In the clips below, we have combined a dramatic reading of a story about noise with sound effects. All of the sound effects were created by the students and used a variety of instruments and "found sounds." Even harder, the students performed and recorded their stories before a live audience of their classmates. All students were excellent performers and respectful audience members. Please leave a comment if you enjoy the stories!
The second annual Webster School Talent Show will be held on the last Tuesday of the school year, June 25th, at 1:00 in the gymnasium. Auditions are being held the first week of June during regular Fine Arts blocks. Any students wishing to audition should come to Fine Arts prepared with any instruments, props, or music that they will require for their audition. iPads, iPods, CDs, mp3s and videos can all be used for auditions.
Unfortunately, not everyone who auditions will be selected for the show. This is the hardest part of Mrs. Vanness' job! We are looking for a variety of talents, a variety of ages and grades, and only have an hour and fifteen minutes for the show. If you are not selected for the show, it doesn't mean you aren't a talented performer!!!
And now, a few videos to keep you smiling :)
