Welcome back bloggers, we are very excited to be back at school and back together in our class, Te Ana Ako. Today, we worked on a creative dance challenge to share a message with an audience. Our task was to use dance to create a special new way to greet our classmates. Our teachers got the idea from the Te Rito Toi website.
To get ourselves warm, we practised moving at low, medium and high levels into space. It was important that we were respectful of the space that our classmates need to stay safe too. Our next step was to list the different ways that we greet each other.
With a buddy, we choreographed a simple dance that combined greetings to say hello again. We also had to make sure we greeted each other from a safe distance. The final step was to apply this dance to a piece of lively music. Our first video shows you the creative fun we were having, coming up with a dance with our buddies.
Here are some of our dance routines. Are there any familiar types of greeting that you notice? What do you think of our dances? We would love some of your positive, thoughtful and helpful feedback.

Wow Te Ana Ako! The moves you guys added and the smiles you guys had are fabulous. I can see you guys have been thinking very creativly. I love how you used different moves for your greetings. I think it is a great idea to do this activity. You guys are following the school rules very well. Also, great blogpost. You have described what you did with so much detail and it is very informative. Adding music to the video is a marvelous idea. I really like how you took videos of each pair doing it and adding those clips to this post. Watching you guys having fun is really enjoyable.

ReplyDeleteHello, this is a message from Haumia class (we shared our ideas to write this as a class).
ReplyDeleteSome of the things we like include the moves you created, how you were dancing, and going high, low and medium.
It reminds us of last term when we we doing moves to some music about bees, kangaroos and turtles.
Maybe you could have written the names of the people under their videos, so we know who they are.
