This term the whole school concept is Creativity. The key understanding that we would expect the students to gain is that, ‘Original ideas have value’. We will be exploring this concept through music dance and drama with our context being “Forces that shape our earth”. This includes exploring plate tectonics and the creation of physical features in Aotearoa and the impact of recent earth movements in the South Island, in particular the 7.8 earthquake in Kaikoura. We will be linking this to the humanitarian responses from different communities and the creative problem solving that took place during and after this disaster.
We are very lucky to have had the opportunity to take part in some dance workshops with someone from the Royal Ballet Dance Academy. Some videos will be posted soon.
We have also been doing some science research to help us with the planning of our production.
In the photos below, we worked in groups of 4 or 5 to find out about Plate Tectonics and some famous world landmarks.
