Linwood Choir performs at Music Celebration!

The Linwood Choir met together on Monday evening to take part in the St. James Assiniboia Music Celebration at Sturgeon Creek United Church. Our choir worked very hard to prepare for this event and they sang beautifully! Our adjudicator, Mrs. Hildebrand, had many wonderful comments and gave the choir some great tips to improve for our Winnipeg Music Festival performance coming up on March 4th.

Thank you to all parents and caregivers for bringing your child/ren to this special event!

Linwood Discovers at WSO Concert Musical Discoveries!




On Thursday, February 6th, both morning and afternoon Kindergarten students, as well as Rooms 8, 6, 4, & 1 boarded two school buses and headed to the Centennial Concert Hall for a special education concert 
titled Musical Discoveries!  








It was a very exciting one-hour concert as 2,200 students helped Manituba (the WSO's mascot) solve game-show questions all about the orchestra! The students were eager to help Manituba as they were happy to share their knowledge of the orchestra with Manituba!


During our reflection time after the concert, here are some of the most exciting things that our students learned:

Avirey said "I learned songs and lots of sounds (of the orchestra)".

Walker said "The most exciting thing I learned was (learning about) all the instruments."

Frances learned "To be my best at the WSO!"

Oliver said "I learned about listening."

Jaydon said "I loved the music!"

Thank you again to Linwood's Parent Council, Parent Volunteers, and Classroom Teachers for helping this concert experience a success!
