DANCE WITH MISS GOURLAY
And 5, 6, 7, 8! All classes have been working hard learning many different dances since the start of Term 1. Most other Southern Primary Schools are learning the same dances for the rescheduled 40th Year Dance Event Celebration in September later this year.
Dancing has so many health benefits for any age and who doesn’t love a little jig now and then! The dances we have been learning have ranged from individual, partner, group and line dances. Each class have learnt 5 different dances with even more fun routines to learn!
I interviewed some students from the Year 2/3 class to hear what their favourite dance event dance is so far:
- Peppa - I like the winter dance because it is fun how you have to communicate with your partner to know where to move, it’s really fun!
- Ella - I like SiSi Maria because I like the start of the dance where you march.
- Kobie - my favourite is the winter lumber jack dance because I get to pretend to chop a tree and we have to store the wood too.
- Lacie - my favourite one so far is SiSi Maria because we have to march!
- Finn- I like the winter dance because I like anything including trees!
- Grace - My favourite part is the daisy chain dance when we have to skip around with our partners.
- Archie - I like the hungry giant because I like giants!
- Sonny F - SiSi Maria is my favourite because it’s really adventurous!
- Divinia - I liked the daisy chain dance because I liked spinning around with my partner!
- Darcy - I liked the woodchopping dance moves in the winter dance. And stacking the word!
- Toby and Esther - We like the hungry giant dance and looking for food and it is also abit challenging because it speeds up!
