Mairi's Wedding

This week Room 5, the Year 5s and Year 7s have travelled to Scotland. They learnt a Scottish Country Dance called "Mairi's Wedding" and watched some video's of other dances. They then needed to work in groups to create their own Scottish Country Dance. This is the result.

Crocodile Country

Room 5 also have travelled to Australia. They had the same stimuli as LS1 but had different instructions. Room 5 needed to choose 6 movements that represented their animal and needed a starting and end shape. Can you tell what animal each group are?

Fire!

Room 5 also used the "Fire!" poem as their motivation for their dance. They used the words around, under, over, and through to shape their dance. Their choreographic device was call and response. This means that "B" froze while "A" moved then "A" froze and "B" moved.

The Volcano

The seniors continued their volcano dance today in the Music Zone. Room 5 picked three non locomotor moves inspired by the Coke & Mentos Volcano experiment. They shared individually in three groups. LS2 picked moves that reflected the 3 stages of the Volcano. The building up, the eruption and the dying down. They created a dance sequence then worked with a partner in a Duet. The year 7's shared their duets in their pair and the year 8's shared three pairs at a time. Can you see the three stages in each dance?
