Liz Hartman

Ok, so here we have two pictures of yesterday when Liz Hartman came to talk to our class!

She told us about how the banners are put up and what her job is like, being an Urban Planner for our city!

April 23rd Performance

Now that we've finally got the videos of the performance, it's time to upload them!

 

 

 

 

 

Some Videos!

Today we have a video of the GV students singing Happy Birthday, as well as three grade seven girls "grooving" on Puck's final speech in Midsummer's Night Dream! And sorry, still no lobsters.

So here are the girls: Left: Anyka, Middle: Jenna, Right: Maddy.

And now for the videos!

Video 1: Remix Style

And here's Video 2!

If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
if you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.

Upper Class Costumes are Done!!!!

The Grade 6 class finished sewing the upper class costumes today.  Congrats on a job well done. Thanks to Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Nestmann for all their help with the project.

 

Go take up these clothes here quickly. Where's the 

cowl-staff? look, how you drumble! Carry them to  

the laundress in Datchet-meat; quickly, come.

The Big Bash!!!

Well today is William Shakespeare's 449th birthday!!! So, all the Georges Vanier students gathered in the gym to celebrate! It was a great party involving cupcakes, a trumpet player, two kids in costume and a lobster!!! No wait... scratch that last one- no lobsters.


Alright I am going to tell you the story of Shakespeare's Birthday Bash:

...And so, the students gathered....

 

...They listened to the Art Master for a while...

 They were good listeners....

 

But once they trumpet began to play and they had sung "Happy Birthday"...

Well, there was no stopping them.

It was party time!!!

Even the fancy-pants(es) couldn't resist.

And so, the blue-tongued students had a smashing good time!

Some more than others! :) 

THE END!

It is my birth-day:
I had thought to have held it poor: but, since my lord
Is Antony again, I will be Cleopatra. Top of Form

Happy Birthday Shakespeare

Tomorrow is Shakespeare's Bday. At 10am the students of Georges Vanier are singing Happy Birthday and having cupcakes. Yummmm

Files are at the Printer

Hi Team,

I wanted to let every student that worked on the project know that I am very very proud of you. This was a challenging project, long and hard and it required intense concentration. You were amazing. The files are at the printer (Pelican Media), Josh was amazed at what you had done.

I also want to thank Liz at the City of Saskatoon for all she has done to make the project happen.

It will be very exciting the day that the first proof is printed and we can actually see and touch what we have done.

The City of Saskatoon has been added to our sponsor list. Due to their help we will have banners down 21st as well as on Spadina Cres.

My favorite quotation from the entire project is: "Neither is good or bad, it is thinking that makes it so." Shakespeare
