Il concerto delle gocce
La poesia, come la musica, è un’espressione comunicativa potente che crea emozioni ed esperienze significative per ognuno di noi. Tutto questo Pierluigi Cappello, poeta e scrittore friulano, lo sapeva molto bene e attraverso le parole della sua poesia anche i bambini di Gr2A hanno potuto comprendere la forza espressiva delle parole che descrivono una cosa tanto semplice ma anche magica come la pioggia.
Grazie al prezioso contributo del maestro Denis hanno creato una fantastica melodia, fatta attraverso l’utilizzo di vari strumenti per trovare il timbro ideale che accompagnasse la narrazione di questo testo. L’improvvisazione ritmica e melodica creata dai bambini con maracas, triangoli, legnetti, glockenspiel e legata dal flauto suonato dal maestro, ha dato vita ad una musica originale, a tratti malinconica e a tratti più allegra che fa pensare proprio ad una danza, la danza delle gocce.
Questo progetto a quattro mani ci ha dato la possibilità di metterci in gioco in modi diversi e ci ha ricordato ancora una volta che la scuola è un’esperienza creativa fatta di collaborazione e condivisione.

Let’s Make Some Noise!
Sounds and noises around us provide an important way to understand and interact with the world: they are a tool we use to communicate and gather information. Listening to and making sounds is without a doubt a favorite activity in Pre-Nursery, and in the past few weeks we have been exploring the differences between LOUD and quiet sounds and everything in between. We used our voices and our bodies to make sounds, and then we learned to make loud noises by banging on drums and by shaking maracas. We made quiet noises, gently tapping on the triangle and the xylophone, trying hard to hear the gentle ‘ting’….
Needless to say, we preferred by far to make lots of loud noises!

A Jingling Round of Applause for Our Carollers!
The Elementary students were in fine voice again for their Winter Concert. This year we were lucky enough to have our friends from Kindergarten make their debut, singing along with the older children! With the help of our maintenance staff, the car park became a concert venue as our students sang for the parents on the steps in front of the school. The repertoire included the usual favourites and some less well-known songs from around the world. It was a wonderful atmosphere and certainly reflects what makes The Udine International School a very special place.
And this was not the end of the story! We then moved to Largo Dei Pecile to enchant shopkeepers and passers-by with our charming voices! The encore was a success once again!
Our sincere thanks to everyone who helped to make the event a great success – with a special thanks, as always to Maestro Denis!
