3SG had great fun working in groups to create their own Haka (a ceremonial dance of the Maori people) as part of our dance module in PE.
It was great to see your ideas and scary faces!

Year 4 PE
Today, year 4 watched videos of how a professional player would do the haka dance with his arms and hands, before attempting it themselves in steps. They worked in pairs to critique and provide feedback on how to improve the performance and in the end, the children all performed together with facial expressions. It resulted in a terrifying but amusing performance!

Beautiful Work
Year 3 PE
The new term meant a new PE scheme; the children have started on dance. Today the children had learnt about what the Haka dance was all about. We discussed the use of emotion and expression, levels, and movements that were involved in the dance, before incorporating stance, facial expression, voice and moving towards positions into their own dance with a partner. Year 3 had so much fun with this lesson!

The Haka in 3F
We are so proud of our dancing superstar!
Well done to this incredibly talented young lady. What a half term you had! Having moved up a section to dance against the āJuniorsā, Mia was one of the youngest of roughly 20 children who competed against each other all week in solo routines. She came home with 12 individual medals: 2 gold medals; 5 silver; 3 bronze; and 2, 4th place medals – as well as others for group routines! See, I told you she was talented! I canāt wait to come and watch you and your friends perform again.
Look out Londonās West Endā¦Mia is gonna take you by storm one day!

Dance in Y4!
The children are focusing on Dance this half term and have had such a great time practicing the Haka. They learned a bit about its history and where it originated from. Then they put on their most intimidating faces to learn the first few steps.
