Mr. Foley's students spent a few weeks studying Camille Saint-Saëns "Carnival of The Animals", and then wrote songs to portray characteristics of the animals named. The songs were shared with parents at Bradfield's Open House on March 4th. You can explore the songs at the link below! Happy listening!
