Year 3 Performing Arts

Term 4, Week 1

Welcome back everyone!

I hope you have had a fabulous holiday. I am so excited to see you all back at school next week!

I had some wonderful feedback at the end of last Term to say that many learners wanted to try a second option from the list of tasks - so this week, choose at least 1 new learning task that interests you! Of course if you would like to do more, you may!

OPTION 1: Acting / Imaginative play

A trip to the beach - at home!

It's time to go on a trip to the beach!

  • What are you going to wear? Put it on!

  • What will you need to bring? Pop it all into a bag!

  • Where is the beach going to be?

  • Can you create some pretend water? Sand? Or are you just going to imagine?

  • Are you going to bring snacks?

Now, play! Are you going to build a sandcastle? Go for a swim? Read a book? Have a picnic?

**Don't forget to pack it all up when you've finished!

OR

A tea party for all your toys!

All your toys are coming over for afternoon tea!

  • What are you going to wear? Put it on!

  • Are your teddies or toys getting dressed up too?

  • What food are you going to cook? Maybe you could make it using playdough? Or cut it out of paper? Do you have pretend food you could use?

  • Time to decorate! What can you do to make your tea party look lovely?

  • Do you have some music to play?

Now, play! Are you going to feed all your toys? Have a dance? Talk about your day?

**Don't forget to pack it all up when you've finished!

OPTION 2: Dancing - Get up and Dance!

Trolls: Can't Stop the Feeling

Dinosaur Stomp

OPTION 3: Dancing - Create your own dance to music (this is called improvising)

  • I have given 3 clips that you can dance to - or you can choose some music of your own!

Ballet - The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Old Time Rock and Roll
I'm Still Standing - 'Sing'

OPTION 4: Dancing - You be the judge!
