Performing Arts
Sacred Heart Primary School Yarrawonga
Welcome Back to Term 4!
I hope all our students and families enjoyed a restful break and are feeling refreshed for an exciting and creative term ahead. I am looking forward to a fantastic term filled with Performing Arts learning and opportunities for our students to continue to develop their confidence, creativity and performance skills.
With our Picture Storybook themed performances finished, our Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 students will continue exploring drama through engaging puppetry and storytelling experiences. These activities will encourage our students to develop their imagination and confidence as performers. Later in the term, students will revisit key music concepts, including tempo, rhythm and pitch, through a range of fun and interactive learning experiences.
For our students from Years 3-6, they will continue rehearsing their scripts and work on costume and prop design as they work towards their class performances in Week 4. It has been wonderful to see the enthusiasm and teamwork they have already demonstrated, and I am excited to watch their performances come to life on the ‘stage’.
Please note the following:
Costumes & Props
Where possible I will be sourcing costumes, props and set materials for our classroom performances, however students have been encouraged to consider clothing options or items from home they feel will suit their characters and they can bring them to school with them on the day of their performance – families are NOT required to purchase anything for these and I encourage parents to reach out to me in email if there are any questions or concerns around this.
Additional scripts and practise expectations
Students have also been given additional scripts and resources to help them practise their dialogue for their upcoming plays – it is an expectation that students work towards memorising their lines, as any performer does.
If students require another copy of their script they can come to me in my learning space before school or during recess or lunch.
I look forward to sharing our students' achievements and celebrating their creativity throughout the term. Thank you for your continued support of the Performing Arts program.
Singing, dancing and signing off!
