Performing Arts Highlights

Year Prep 

The Prep Community have started to experience music from the Carnival of the Animals by the famous composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Students used their listening skills to identify the music elements in the various music pieces and expressed creative movement to match the category of animals. Students have further explored using the percussion and melodic instruments to play along to different sound stories and chants.

Year 1/2 

The Year 1/2 Community have started to work on developing their understanding of pitch and melody. Students have been making ascending and descending melodic patterns on the xylophones using steps, slides, skips, and a combination using improvisation. They have been identifying high pitch and low pitch on the xylophones and learning to go up and down the C scale. Students have been practicing to play and sing along to a song called, ‘Ipsy Wipsy’ which is a rock version of the famous nursery rhyme, ‘The Ipsy Wipsy Spider’. 

Year 5/6 Choir 

The Year 5/6 Choir students have started working on presenting some songs for Book Week! Some students will get to shine extra bright on stage with solo speaking and singing parts, as well as adding their own creative dance choreography. The Year 6 Choir Captains: Sukhleen, Samyra and Rhythm have started to collaborate with the teacher to create choreography and devise a script for the students to perform.
