Writing and Dance

Today we analysed our favourite dance from the Wonderland (the Middle School's Pantomime). There were 5 dances to choose from - Room 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12's dances. We are going to publish this reflection as part of our writing and Dance programme.
We were looking at the Communicating and Interpreting strand of the Art's Curriculum

• Share dance movement through informal presentation and share their thoughts and feelings in response to their own and others’ dances.

• Share dance movement through informal presentation and identify the use of the elements of dance.
