DPE New Theme in the Performing Arts Suite

KIAORA EVERYONE!

Firstly I'd like to congratulate you all on a Tu meke! - a fantastic effort on designing, creating and completing your Survivor Island projects and performances in Term 1. Some of you will see your designs/ performances on this blog. Ka mau te wehi - Well done!

Term 2's next theme in the Performing Arts suite will be: PRECIOUS WATER.

FRESH WATER is PRECIOUS...is a TAONGA. How much is there? Out of all the water on Earth, salt water and saline groundwater make up about 97% and only 2.5–2.75% is fresh water. Water is a critical issue for the survival of all living things.

Let’s celebrate water and create things inspired by WATER!! 

Could those of you who have selected the Water Theme for Term 2 please read the Learning Centres in the above pages called: Precious Water 1 & 2. You will need to choose one Learning Centre to focus on as your next design project. Feel free to email me over the holidays.

Talented musician and singers @ Raroa.

Rm 13's first Dance session

While Mr Bowkett is teaching TE REO every Friday Block 3 1.10 -2.00pm I will be working with Rm 13 in the Performing Arts suite now called DPE Suite 5. Here they explored with locomotor - eg. running, stomping, skipping etc and non-locomotor - eg. bending, the robot, pin-drop or on the spot moves and then were to end with a simple shape sculpture! This group took on the challenge of doing their OWN version of the infamous non-locomotor move - twerking!

Rm 13's first Dance session

Rm 13 worked and explored with locomotor, non-locomotor moves and simple shape sculptures. After 10-15 minutes this group came up with a very very short routine!

Rm 13's first Dance session

Boys can do anything! I love watching what the boys come up with in their selection of moves in a rouitne. They tend to explore more ....some moves quite unconventional. Again more locomotor and non locomotor moves in this group, ending with an entertaining simple shape sculpture!
