Last Stomp Elective

Today was the last Stomp Elective. We choreographed a STOMP piece using basketballs. Because it was raining we did this inside and then when the sun came out we went outside. Which one do you think is best?

Room 5: Recorder Karate

We had some more gradings today to white belt. Remember that you can grade before school after the first bell like Juanita and Saruja did.

Rooms 5 & 6: Soundscapes

Rooms 5 & 6 have been using a song called "Kiwi" as motivation for creating music. They created a rhythmic ostinato in groups using body percussion and they played rhythmic ostinatos on percussion instruments to accompany the melody.
