This term we have been focusing on the Performing Arts: Drama and Dance.

We have had the wonderful Michael take the first three weeks of term, while Joel was on parental leave. Through this time the F1s have been working on miming different scenarios such as getting ready for work, running to catch a plane or pretending to be a lost dog in a park. Other activities included creating short 2 minute skits to perform in front of the class using imaginary objects.

Grades 2-3 have been working in teams to re-enact different scenarios and use their voice and actions to imitate different characters in real or fictional situations. They have also been looking at mime and how you can use facial gestures and actions to portray a mood and action.

4-6 had been working on basic screenwriting and acting. They explored using the correct conventions, fonts and setting out, as well as a short introduction to storyboarding out their ideas using cartoons and in comic squares to create a clear concept of a movie.

In the second half of the term, all students have been working on the dancing component with Brigetta from Dance N’ Schools taking charge. This will form their end of term assembly piece for the cultural celebration.
