Spring Concert 2010

Spring Concert 2010

On Sunday, Village School held its Spring Concert at The Haven at First and Market. The woodwind choir, chorus, and orchestra all gave beautiful performances. Together they did a rendition of Cold Play’s “Viva la Vida.” The 8th grade then presented their song followed by the whole school, along with some audience members, singing the “Village School Song.” The program ended with dances performed by each class. It was a wonderful afternoon of performing arts.

Upcoming Drama Performances

5th and 6th Grade Plays

Next week, the 5th and 6th graders will present their drama performances.

The 5th grade play is about an opera singing pig named Percival. Percival must go to London and become a star. Along the way he gets help from turkeys, chickens, and sheep. In the end, Percival ends up exactly where he wants to be. –Nell Fountain

The 6th grade is putting on a performance of the classic Alice in Wonderland. Everybody has had a great time acting and working with our teacher, Ms Leal. We also got to make our own puppets for an enjoyable puppet show in between the scenes of the main play. We hope you can come and see the amazing 6th grade play! –Elizabeth Zimmermann

Fashion Club

Fashion Club

In the third quarter, the fashion club discussed fashion, previewed fashion, and created designs of their own. Using paper and a few other items, the girls worked hard to make their fashions come to life. If you have any questions about what to wear in the coming season, you know who to ask! It was a great quarter!

“Pi” Poetry

What Is Pi? by Molly Bocock

What is Pi?
Please,
tell me what it is.
Is it the stuff that tastes sweet and sticks to you fingers?
Or is it a bunch of numbers that float around you head?
What is Pi?
Please,
tell me what it is.

Three Tired People by Rachel Birkholz

Three tired people
pointed at the mattress store
for they wanted to take a nap.
One said, “Let’s go inside.”
Five minutes later, they were asleep.
“Nein,” said the manager. “You can’t sleep here.”
Two weary eyes from all three looked at him.
Six feet trudged out of the store.
Five minutes later, they were back.

Spring by Claire Keeler
Chirping birds
sing
flowers blooming
green
warm weather and wind
the clouds disappear and sun takes over
spring time

Piku by Kellyn Kusyk

My stomach feels bad
And that is why I don’t want
To have any pie.

If Pi is so great
Then why do we have to bust
Brain cells to find it?

Why is Pi the best
Repeating decimal, huh?
Why not just make one?
