How to express your emotions....

The Grade One classes got together for an afternoon of experiencing different ways to express themselves through dance. They got to experience a Khmer dance, the Haka from New Zealand, Break Dancing and the Hula. It was heaps of fun and really got the students talking about the different emotions that dances can make you feel. 

Here are the things the students need to think about during the session.

We had a turn too.

The Haka from New Zealand was a completely different experience for the students. They all said it was scary but it made them feel strong and brave when they had a turn at preforming it. A proud moment for this Kiwi teacher :-)

Break dancing and the Hula were also a hit with the students. I think we have some awesome dancers in Grade One as you would have seen from our assembly :-)

Drama

Ms Lizzie and Ms Sita who are the secondary drama teachers came over to share with us ways we can use our bodies to express emotions.

We had a great time learning to use all of these components and create some dramatic scenes.
