Creek Dance

Room 2 have made a dance about things that are in the creek. We choreographed it ourselves which means we made up the dance moves.

We learnt about different levels - low level, middle level and high level. When the music changed we had to change levels.

We made our own costume headbands.

Some of us are eels. The eels move like eels would move through the creek. Some of us are plants in the water. The plants can't move around like eels but we sway and move our arms like plants would move in the water. Some of us are rocks. Rocks can't move like eels and plants but we listen for the music change and we change levels and shapes when the music changes.

Room 2's Creek Dance - We hope you enjoy watching it!

Music

This second half of the term we have Music lessons with Caleb on Thursday mornings. We have been learning lots about rhythm, beat, tempo and dynamics which are all important in music.

Tempo means speed and it is about how fast or slow the music is.

Here we are relaxing to music that has slow tempo - Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Here we are dancing to music that has fast tempo - Let's Twist Again.

Creek Posters

We have been learning about responsibilities and we have responsibilities at home and at school and also in the world. This is things like looking after the environment.

We need to look after the creek and after all the rubbish we picked up, Room 2 thought about how we could help other people to not throw their rubbish in the creek. We decided we would make posters.

We drew nice pictures of the creek that we went over with vivid. We coloured our pictures in with pastels then went over them with dye.
