Term 3 in Performing Arts started off with a focus on Drama. Students learnt about expression, action and levels and practised using their face, body and voice to convey different characters, emotions and situations. Students have begun preparing for their performances in the Arts Extravaganza, which is coming up next term! This will be a chance for them to show off their amazing acting skills, as well as some dance, music and a lot of teamwork. 

Grade 5/6

Grade 5 and 6 students began the term with a Martial Arts themed unit, learning about movement and control. They have now begun preparing their performances in the Arts Extravaganza which is coming up next term! They will be incorporating these movements into their performance, which is based on the movie Shrek!

Students have also begun a unit on creating rap lyrics as part of their performance, writing from the perspective of a character from Shrek. The Arts Extravaganza performance will give them the opportunity to showcase not only their lyric writing, but also their rapping, acting and some dance skills as well.
