Dance Performances

This week the children had to use problem-solving skills and their imagination to create a dance. The children were asked to start and finish their dance performance with a "pause," and they were encouraged to perform movements together and to repeat them in different directions (ex. left and right).  They could choose to sing a song to go with their dance.  The children practised their dance all week.  Friday was the day they performed in front of their peers.  In the morning, each group made a poster to advertise their dance group. They wrote the name of their group, the day and time of their performance, and the name of the dancers.  All poster had to be attractive to "catch" the attention of the public.  Here are their posters:

Monster: Colin, Devin, Antonio, Ben, and Preston

Tea Cups: Folu, Ella, Alessa, and Giuliana G.

The Butterflies: Tianna, Christina, Ava, and Giuliana M.

Lightning: James, Anthony, Jackson, Brandon, Mahmoud and Aiden

Penguin: Kaitlyn, Hannah, Joanna-Lee, and Nahisha

In the afternoon, the children had a great time performing their dances.  You can view your child dance performance in his or her ePorfolio. The children also got to present their poster to Mrs.Cole. Those videos will be in your child's ePortfolio this week.
