Both classes are currently creating a Volcano Dance. The dance must incorporate the 5 aspects of dance: Jumping, travelling, stillness turning and gesture. They also are required to incorporate symmetry (Numeracy skills)and work simultaneously. In order to achieve this the children work in talking partners and employ their ever developing communication skills.

MUSIC - ROUNDABOUT PROJECT- Mrs Marlow
J6 started a music project on rounds this afternoon. They used their ICT skills via the interactive whiteboard to listen to and watch rounds.
They then played a round clapping game where they had the choice to cross or uncross their legs and had to follow a clapping pattern around the circle. Numeracy skills were used here to count the beats.
They increased their musical vocabulary, using terms such as unison, rhythm, and round. The children worked collaboratively and used their communication skills to perform this impressive 4 part round.
More rounds next Wednesday for J6
To mrs and Sir
