Winter Sports

Today we had our first winter sports practise, make sure you do lots of practising. We are doing it tomorrow so bring all your gear, even if it is raining because if you don't have it you will not be able to play no matter what. If you are in hokey bring your shoes, shinpads and mouth guard. That is for everybody too. If you are bad just remember practise, practise and PRACTISE!!!! Even if you are good or at least think you are good you still need to practise.

Musical Machine

You have an instructor who gives you a bit of rhythm you have to say or do for example stomping,clapping and clicking.Once everyone has sorted out there rhythm you put it all together and then you do it in front of the class.The instructor tells you with hand movements to either go louder or quieter.

Rhythm Telephone

For topic we are doing Drama and Dance and w are learning how to play them
This is how you play Rhythm Telephone you sit in a circle facing the person in front of yous back tap out a rhythm on there back and wait for it to go around the circle then the last person claps the rhythm out and you compare it with yours and see if it is right and don't hit the persons back to hard or everyone will hear the rhythm and cheat!

Drama

On Tuesday we did drama. For drama we got into pairs. While we were in pairs one of us froze and for ten seconds the other person would move our feet,eyes and hands.
The next thing we did is was act out The Three Billy Goats Gruff with three other people using only facial epressions and are movements. It was really fun.

Drama

Today we have been doing some drama with facial expressions and absolutely no talking! It is a lot of fun and we get to do mirrors with a partner. Also we got to do a roll of the Three Billy Goats Gruff with our new teacher Mr Gaffaney. The roll we could not even talk we could only use facial expressions and nothing else. We were miming together in a group of four, one to be the Little Billy Goat Gruff, one to be the Medium Billy Goat Gruff, one to be the Big Bill Goat Gruff and one to be the Troll.

Easter

Hope everyone had a great Easter and got lots of chocolate!
