Room 7 have been writing dance reflections. Here are a few for you to read.

Juniors

Room 1 created their own landscape painting that had four geographical features in it using air pathways. They then made body shapes of those features. They shared their shapes with a partner through mirroring. What geographical features can you spot?

This week we have looked at a painting called "The day the Treaty of Waitangi was signed". Individually we created a dance signature. In groups we recreated the landscape. We had some help from some room 5 students, thanks heaps. Look at the videos of what we created.

The Juniors are creating dance based on New Zealand landscapes. We talked about what we would find in a landscape and what colours we would find in the landscapes. We are using paint brushes to imagine painting our favourite landscapes.
