Performing Arts 

Drama

Students experienced Drama this year where they learned about different stories and characters. They used their drama skills such as movement, voice and facial expression to act in the space. Students even got to dress up and use props to build their ideas and improvise with each other in dramatic play. 

Dance

Students participated in Dance movement activities to develop an understanding of the elements of dance. This included timing, space, actions and dynamics. Students copied actions from the teacher and choreographed short dances to perform to each other using expressive and technical skills. 

Music 

Students engaged in various Music lessons using percussion and melodic instruments to show their understanding of the music elements. This included beat, rhythm, tempo, melody, pitch, dynamics and form. Students used creative movement to match the different sections of music using props such as ribbon wands and scarves.
