This week we are exploring songs!
Listen to the instructions.
Activity 1 – Instructions
Duration: 3:44
Look at the map. It shows the place names of some towns in Australia.
How many of the towns on the map have you heard of before?
Find a place that you have never heard of before and see if you can find out about where its name came from.
Let's learn a song that uses some of these town names!
Watch and follow the animated score for 'When the Clouds are Sinking Low / A Wonderous Place' by Tracy and Paul Burjan.
This song has two names because it is a partner song. That means there are two songs that can go together at the same time!
The animated score shows both songs together.

When the Clouds are Sinking Low
When the clouds are sinking low,
And the sky has a special glow.
I love to watch the setting sun,
Beaming down on everyone.
When the clouds are sinking low.
When the rain is falling down,
Love that sound as it hits the ground.
There’s four seasons in one day,
Winter, summer, spring and fall.
When the rain is falling down.
When the clouds are sinking low.
Listen to 'A Wonderous Place'. This song is all about our amazing Australian town names.
Practice singing this song.

Let's do another activity with this partner song!
Watch the video and join in the activity.
You will need:
a tea towel, scarf or piece of material
a clear space for movement.
'When the Clouds are Sinking Low'
Duration: 1:47
Let's add movement!
Use the backing track for the songs together to compose your own movement sequence along with the music.
You should focus on the dance element of dynamics (energy) by focussing on these 3 things:
How does your body use the space around you?
How do your movements flow and match the music?
How do you move your scarf, material or tea towel to suit the phrases?
Make sure you warm your body up first with some light stretches and be careful not to run into any furniture!
