Performing Arts

Hi Everyone,

This term is all about DANCE!!!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8…

All year levels have the same central idea for Term Four Dance - ‘We can use our bodies to communicate ideas and intentions to an audience’ - but they will be exploring different topics. The year level term topics are…

Foundation - Our Bodies that Move

Year One and Two - Organised Dance (The Dance Map)

Year Three and Four - World Dance (Hip Hop / Cha Cha Cha / Jazz)

Year Five - Flash Mob

Year Six - Performing Arts for the Science Exhibition

We had great fun over the last couple of weeks putting the foundations down for the new units. In particular, the Year One and Year Two students enjoyed the Dance Relay. Half of the class participated in this fun-moving activity, whilst the other half observed and acted as judges - looking whether students were changing their levels and were leading their movements with different parts of the body, ie. the shoulder. After that, they swapped roles and the judges became the dance relay participants.

They also designed their first Dance Map plans which will form the base of their organised dance.

Below are some photographs from Year One and Year Two classes:
