African Arts Week!

For arts week this year, Year 5 looked at African art.  

We decided not to do an African painting or sculpture, but to learn about African dance and singing. We learnt two children's songs which were famous songs from Ghana.

Then we put our dancing skills to the test and created an African tribe dance. First we watched a few videos to get some ideas. Our dance was fantastic and we had great fun practicing it and performing it to the rest of the school, who thoroughly enjoyed watching us! 

We also created some African cuffs and head bands to wear for our performance, using African beading as our inspiration.

Gymnastic sequences

Year 3 have been learning start positions and shapes in gymnastics. They are getting really good at putting their moves into 5 sequence performances. Well done Ellis and Becci.
