Prep Music

So far this term in Music lessons the Preps have been learning about playing instruments in different ways: fast, slow, soft and loud! Last week we started using the Chime Bars and have been learning about jumping beaters (using both at the same time) and walking beaters (one at a time alternating hands). We have also been starting to learn our Easter songs in preparation for the Easter Hat Parade (Friday 3rd April- 8:45am in the hall). See some of our Prep classes playing the chime bars on our blog.

Drama in Year 2

We have had an exciting start to drama this year.  Year 2 students have we been learning to develop role play and characterisation through camping and holiday experiences.

Students were about to role play different camping or holiday experiences using props, their imagination and the use of technology with the app AR Makr. Mrs Benton was able to use the app to create a fire, students were able to role play toasting marshmallows on sticks. It was exciting to see drama and technology come together for a drama lesson.

Students have also been participating in lots of drama activities to promote body movement and awareness. Photos below are students being mirrors.
