We enjoyed an action-packed musical theatre workshop with Miss Spurrier. It was all-singing, all-dancing extravaganza (complete with 'jazz hands') to Hakuna Matata. Not only did we perform altogether, many of us were brave enough to perform on our own or in small groups for the rest of the class. What a talented bunch!
Team Holloway had a brilliant time making our own stop-motion animations with Mr Brown. Against some simple but effective backgrounds, we used silhouettes of birds and animals to create our animations. We loved this activity!
Thank you to those of you that were able to attend the SATS parents meeting today. For anyone who wasn't able to attend the meeting or would like a copy of the information shared please find the powerpoint attached.
Thank you for your support,
Year 2 Team
Today in our music workshop Year 2 worked on using percussion in time to a song from The Lion King. The children even got to play the song using glockenspiels!
The fun continues! Today we had a fantastic mask-making workshop. Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who were able to join us.
Today in English we made some puppets to help us write part of our play scripts later in the week. In groups we made the different characters from The Leopard's Drum - Osebo the Leopard, Nyame the Sky God, Python, Elephant, Monkey and Tortoise. We thoroughly enjoyed making them and can't wait to bring them to life!
Another incredible morning in Arts' week! We enjoyed a drama session with Mr Williams where we recreated the African savannah, using our voices for the sounds and our bodies for the animals and environment. It was tremendous fun and the children were so creative in interpreting the different elements. See some photos from our drama workshop in the attachment.
This week we are basing our writing on The Leopard's Drum, an Asante tale from Ghana. Leopard has a magnificent drum, but he doesn't want anyone to share it.
We drew pictures of drums and made a story map of the key points in the story.
Wow! What an amazing start to Arts' week. We kicked off this extra special week with a fantastic assembly given by two members of the cast from the West End production of The Lion King. Shannon and Kuan led an action-packed workshop where we danced, sang and performed part of a song from the production. It was incredible fun and such a treat to see the performers.
This week we will be taking part in creative arts activities based on The Lion King. As part of this we will be doing dance instead of the usual PE sessions. Please could children wear their PE kit on Tuesday and Thursday.
We look forward to sharing the different workshops with you!
We have had a student teacher, Mr Jones, occasionally supporting in our class throughout the year. As part of his studies he is conducting some research into play. He did part of this research with the children on Friday where they drew a picture to show how they play in school and answered some questions about play in a questionnaire.
