Our Musical Pumpkin!

As part of the Sobey's Pumpkin Challenge, students in Grades 1 - 3 were challenged by Royal Oak Sobey's to creatively design a pumpkin to display in their store as part of their Halloween Challenge.  Each class took up this collaborative task with their students based on interests, student designs, or things they are learning about in the classroom. 

In the Music Room, our pumpkin was "composed" with the rhythmic and melodic notation that the students have been exploring.  The mouth is a melody that sings "so mi mi so" and the eyes, ears and nose are formed with the rhythm notes ta, ti ti, and rest.

We've spent the week reading and performing our pumpkin's face, and we invite you to visit him at Sobey's.  Although he may be a bit shrivelled by now, we hope you can still see the melody and rhythm in our Musical Pumpkin!
