Perform your dance in front of an audience and ask your audience to guess 3 different animals. Use the Circle of Life music (the Lion King clip music).
Parent Tip: Please refer to the above actions to help you identify which animal your child is creating. When giving feedback please identify the animals and tell your child what you enjoyed about their performance. Is there a particular movement they could improve on?
Useful Links
It is important to stay active and healthy during these times. It is recommended that students participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This could include jogging, running, skipping or practicing ball skills. We have included some links with additional activities and Mrs Travis' workouts from home. (Parent Tip - the workouts can be repeated and your child can choose and decide how many repetitions of an exercise they do) . Children and parents can actively get involved and exercise together.

LOTE Italian - Wednesday
Week 6
Parent tips: Next week is Italian week so all students are asked to be dressed in the colours green white and red for their Friday google meets.
Here is a video on making pizza Gennaro's best home made Pizza. This gives you time to get the ingredients organised if you want to make pizza together. It would be great to have the students eating pizza and having a gelato for a treat. Ready for our online Italian day next Friday 29th May.
Mangiamo la pizza ( let’s eat Pizza)
Italian Apps Molto bene and ABC learn Italian maybe used along with the
activities set.Molto bene app has games and interactive activities which the students love to
work on.There is also a Department website called Languagesonline (Italian). However you
will need to be on a computer to use this as it needs Flash abode to link into the interactive
activities and worksheets.
Student tasks week 6
E` mercoledi (It’s Wednesday Italian time !!)
We are being knowledgeable in both making bread and learning Italian. We are communicating to follow a recipe. Buon divertimento!!
Watch the following video facciamo il pane ( Let's make bread)
and maybe have a go at baking some yourself.
Watch the clip lesson on words used in the recipe, Follow the words and say them out loud with Signora.
Parent information. You may wish to print out the PDF Worksheet to paste in their scrapbook.
Performing Arts - Thursday
GRADE 1- Week 6
Hi Grade 1s,
I loved seeing some of your storyboards from last week’s lesson, they looked fantastic!
For today’s lesson, we’re going to be using our bodies to show some of the scenes from the story of ‘Where the Wild Things Are’. You won’t need to use any other equipment, just your body and your imagination.
You are going to do some ‘soundscape’ work: making sounds with your body and voice to show where you are or what’s happening, and to create an atmosphere. You’ll also be adding some movement to go with your sound.
Task 1: Create a scene showing Max’s bedroom turning into the forest. Use your body by starting small on the ground, then slowly unfurling and growing- just like one of the forest plants. Add some sounds to your moments.
Think: What sounds could you add to bring your forest to life?
Task 2: Create a scene showing Max travelling on his boat to the island. Use and move your body to make it look like you’re on the boat. Now add some appropriate sounds to your movements.
Think: What do you think you might hear if you were sailing to the island on Max’s boat?
Task 3: Become one of the Wild Things. Try to show your Wild Thing doing a few different things: show them partying/ swinging/ parading/ sleeping. Add some sounds to your character movement.
Think: How will you change your face, body, and movement to show the character of a Wild Thing? How will the Wild thing look, sound and move differently to you?
Task 4: Now try and put these 3 scenes together to make a performance sequence.
Try to focus on different dynamics (loud or soft) of sound for each of your ‘scenes’, as well as for the different activities that your Wild Thing will be doing.
If Mum or Dad are able to video record you doing your performance, I’d love to see what you have come up with (Don’t worry if no one is able to record you though, that’s fine: only if they can). Have fun!
