Performing Arts 

Grade 1

Students have continued to use their imagination to create drama. They have learnt about Carnevale in Italy where people wear elaborate costumes and masks. Students have shown expression through their body while wearing neutral masks and have re-enacted a fairytale using character masks.

Grade 2

Students have been learning about the different types of puppets. They have continued working collaboratively in small groups to rehearse and perform Aesop’s Fables told through shadow puppets with a focus on the voice.

Grade 3 & 4

Students have been working in small groups to rehearse and perform a short melodrama script including using props and costumes.

Grade 5 & 6
