Performing Arts!
The Grade Five and Six students have enjoyed
playing "Postcards" and have started to learn how to dance the Jive.They enjoyed singing “We Will Rock You” and “Fireflies”
and are improving their Performing Arts’ skills.
Fun Times!
The Grade Two, Three and Four students have
enjoyed a range of activities in Performing Arts.One of these is called Postcards where the
whole group of students or each small group chose a country and then each chose
something or someone from that country to be. Students come up and pose in
position creating a postcard and when the teacher says action they act out
their parts.Sometimes students can
guess what country each group is being.The students have also enjoyed singing “Hakuna Matata” from The Lion
King.
Performing Arts
The Prep and Grade One students have been
learning about high and low.Students
participated in an activity where when they heard a high note they needed to
reach up to the sky and when they heard a low note bob to the ground.We also have played some games of charades
where a student acts out a word, name or sentence and the rest of the class
need to guess who/what the word is.The
students played imaginary sports where the teacher calls out a name of a sport
and the students need to act it out and enjoyed doing some dancing.

Stencil Rubbings
The Grade Five and Six students have made birds
out of pieces of cardboard.Once they
created their bird they made a rubbing on different types of paper using
rubbing crayons, including metallic ones.Many students have also been able to complete a reflection sheet about
their work.
Well done!
Life on Earth Picture Weaving
The Grade Two, Three and Four
students have been doing some picture weaving.Starting with a picture of something to do with ‘Life on Earth,’ they cut
slits in the picture and wove through coloured strips of paper.They finished by mounting the pictures on
cover paper. The students have worked hard on these.
Great Effort!
