During Term 2, the Early Years boys from Kindergarten to Year Three have been taking part in a creative dance program that culminated in a wonderful performance from each class last week.

Weekly dance workshops were linked to topics and themes from all areas of the curriculum; including Mathematics and the Aboriginal Seasons. Rachael from Creative Moves Dance, gave the boys the opportunity to explore their academic learning in a multi-sensory and creative way. Students were able to contribute their ideas to the choreography and have the opportunity to plan a routine collaboratively, enhancing their creative and critical thinking skills.

The Kindy class opened the show with a dance called ‘Mathomagic’. They created a dance making shapes and demonstrating the concepts of under, over, around and through.

Our Pre-Primary boys dressed up as Thing 1 and Thing 2 and performed a Dr Seuss dance, followed by the Year Ones who created a dance based on the jobs they wanted in the future. The Year 2 class took us to a jungle scene where students on safari got to dance with jungle animals. The Noongar Seasons were represented beautifully by the Year three class who took us through each season using movement and cleverly crafted vignettes.

Congratulations to all of our creative dancers!
