Dance-A-Thon - Matilda
 
On Tuesday, we had a dance coach come in to teach us a dance from the musical Matilda. The song was broken up into sections to start with to help us learn the different parts of the dance. We had to keep in time with the music and listen very carefully to the beats to make sure we were doing the right movement. Once we learned most of the dance, we then choreographed the ending with our partner. This ending had to represent three different parts of Matilda’s personality. One dance move was about her ferocity. One dance move was about her curiosity. One dance move was about her creativity. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Penny Whistle
 
The children have really come on a treat with their penny whistle recently! They can play 6 different notes (BAGFED) and keep in time with the class. They have learnt how to read music and where these 6 notes sit on a stave. They know how many beats each note represents including notes of one and 2 beats. They know how to recognise a full and half rest and when to repeat. At the moment they are learning a tune called 'Lightly Row'.
 
They have done an amazing job learning all of this since September. They have a wonderful enthusiasm for learning to play this instrument. Their focus and determination are incredible and many of them practise regularly at home too. Well done Northern Europe!
