A great semester has come to an end. With Head In The Clouds and Music Week, our students produced and took part in two major events.
A big THANK YOU is in order to all students who participated, to our colleagues at SUIS Pudong, and, last but not least, to our parents!
We wish you a wonderful break and look forward to seeing you in the Year of the Goat!

The Quarter Rest: draw and stretch a small letter “r”
Where is the note “G” on the stave (the 5 lines on which music is written)? Find the letter “G” in the Treble Clef.
The Eighth Rest: like a hand showing the number “8” the Chinese way
SUIS Pudong Primary Music Department wishes all our students and their parents a happy and peaceful 2015!

Grade 2 and 3 are listening to and working with Camille Saint-Saens‘ Carnival of the Animals. Plenty of age-appropriate, witty and very enjoyable music! Don’t hesitate to play this music at home if you can get hold of a good recording.

Here are the words for Calling Home (Major Tom) by Peter Schilling
Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go, are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort
The countdown starts
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
“Send me up a drink”, jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us, drifting falling
Floating weightless, calling home
