The Performing Arts
February 6, 2025
The Arts Appreciation Program promotes the enjoyment and appreciation of music, dance, drama, and the visual arts, through a broad range of activities and mediums.
The Arts is a combination of Drama, Dance, Music and the Visual Arts.
The Grade 4 – 6 students are learning how to play the recorder at Lord Selkirk School this year! Students can use one the schools but if families wish to purchase a Recorder for your child you may do so. Please purchase a Soprano Recorder from a music store such as Long & McQuade or St. John’s Music. Most Soprano Recorders are approximately $5. I ask that the Recorders brought from home have the students full name written on them and I will store them safely in The Arts Room during the school year.
Thank you for your support and engagement. I look forward to the musical creativity ahead!

Primary Performing Arts
After a great start to the year in the Arts room, students have started using xylophones to practice steady beat and explore concepts of high and low and loud and quiet. Students will also be experimenting with how to use parts of the playground to create music inspired by Robert Munsch’s story Mortimer.
