Olympics!

This term all classes have taken part in learning songs and dances from around the room in honour of the Olympic Games. I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Next term we continue dance with creative dance around the idea of "Flight" and Music starts back in week 4!

Paint yourself in Woad

If you looked at the year 6's dances to "Paint yourself in Woad" you would also like to check out the year 8's dances. The year 8's also learnt some basic Irish dance steps and created a sequence to go after their Blended cultural dance. The cultures are as follows: Juanita's group - Indian, Maori and Argentinian; Sajiha's group - Indian; Afu's group - Brazilian and African; Reon's Group - Maori and English; Ana's group - Indian and Scottish; Manu's group - Tongan, Samoan, Cook Island and Maori. My apologies to Manu's group as I missed part of your dance when my camera ran out of memory.

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.
