Dance / Drama

Maui catches the sun

 

We participated in our syndicate production called "Maui catches the sun." 

We helped to chose some dance actions to go with the lyrics in the song "Slow down sun." We danced and acted and we were very brave when we performed in front of an audience. 

We were learning to:

• Use our knowledge of daily activities/chores to create movements
• Create and perform a movement phrase using locomotor and non-locomotor moves
• Discuss how facial expression, movement, and gesture can be used to create meaning   

This is Room 7 practicing our dance ...

Play based learning

We read the book Clever Mr Brown.  Mr Brown made his own airplane and had to be creative for it to fly.  We created our own planes and tested them.

Discovery Time - Term 3

Music

Music

This term we have been having fun playing on lots of different instruments in the music room. We have learnt how to identify the beat and play along with the music in time using the percussion instruments. We have also been learning how to play some chords on the ukulele. We have practiced singing songs and playing the ukulele at the same time and we persevered even when we found it a bit tricky to begin with. The students are working at the curriculum expectation for music.
