Artes Escénicas (Performing Arts) 

Danza (Dance) will remain the main focus area for Artes Escénicas (Performing Arts) this term. We have continued to explicitly learn about 'Los 6 elementos de la danza: espacio, tiempo, dinámica, relaciones, expresión y  ánimo)' (The 6 elements of dance: space, time, dynamics, relationships, expression and mood). We have focused on no more than 1-2 elementos de danze (dance elements) per session.

I have loved continuing to sees all your beautiful, happy faces and energy on with all the dances. The main focus for Artes Escenicas this term is 'Danza' - Dance. It has been fun learning new dance sequences for different types of songs! We listened to new latin/hip hop songs, with a reggeatton mix for our new dance. We focused on learning a sequence for the coro (chorus) part of the song. We have also learned that una secuencia de danza (a dance sequence) has 8 counts. We are getting better at being colaboradores (collaborators) by working in small grupos (groups) to create the beginning part of the dance sequence for our new selected song. There is still a strong focus our values of  Creativity and Curiosity this term, which also link to their Inquiry topic 'How do the changes in our environment impact our daily life?' Check out our new and revised dance sequences so far! :)                                                

2/3

It has been great to still see the enthusiasm, energy and overall enjoyment from all the 2/3s! The main focus for Artes Escenicas this term is still 'Danza' - Dance. We have continued to learn new dance sequences for different types of songs! We got to choose which song we preferred out of latin and hip hop songs. We focused on learning a sequence for the coro (chorus) part of the song. We are very motivated to be colaboradores (collaborators) by working in small grupos (groups) to create the beginning part of the dance sequence for the chosen song including 'dinamica' (dynamics) and 'relaciones' (relationships) as our main focus of the elements of dance. The values we are focusing on this term are Creativity and Curiosity, which also link to their Inquiry topic 'Mi casa, tu casa?' The choreographies are looking very creative and dynamic already! :)

Bienvenidos 4/5/6s! It has been brilliant energia and motivation from all of you! The main focus for Artes Escenicas this term is 'Danza' - Dance. We had so much fun learning new dance sequences for different types of songs! We got to choose which song we preferred out of latin and hip hop songs. We focused on learning a sequence for the coro (chorus) part of the song. We are all ready to be colaboradores (collaborators) by working in small grupos (groups) to create the beginning part of the dance sequence for the chosen song including 'dinamica' (dynamics) and 'relaciones' (relationships) and 'tiempo' (time) as our main focus of the elements of dance. The values we are focusing on this term are Creativity and Curiosity, which also link to their Inquiry topic 'I wonder how the world around us works?' Las ciencias (The Sciences) are also being incorporated into our danzas (dances). These are through: Biology, Space, Chemistry, Science as Human Endeavors. The choreographies are looking very creative and dynamic already! Different types of 'música' (music) and 'canciones' (songs) may be selected by some of us, to reflect our Inquiry Science topic and story created by us! :)
