Rich Task - Teaching Room 23

As part of Room 18's learning this term they planned to teach a group of younger children about the importance of fitness. Here are some pictures of some of Room 18's wonderful fitness instructors in action.

Carey Park Camp 2010

What a great time we all had last week. Carey Park is an amazing place for new learning, new social skills and pushing your personal boundaries.

Before camp we set some goals, many of which were about persisting when times became tricky and hard and I am sure that most of you had one or two moments when you really had to focus on what it was you wanted to achieve.

For this post, use it as a place to describe the things you liked and the things that really challenged you. Did you overcome those challenges?

Tell us about the exciting times that you experienced at Carey Park Camp 2010.

Dance Term 2

Room 18 has been involved in creative dance as part of their arts focus this term. We have been focusing on learning some key vocabulary and skills associated with dance techniques.

In these videos you will see cannon, unison, levels, and body paths to name a few. Ask your child about what these words mean. The dances seen here are after one session with the song and are representative of around 45 minutes of work.

So far we have danced to a range of music chosen to highlight different rhythm selections. We have had 'Put your records on' by Corrine Bailey Rae, 'Heavy Cross' by Gossip - as seen in this video, and are now working on a slower song by Sinead O'Connor called 'Nothing Compares'.

We aim to work on one main dance to present at the end of Term 2, and will begin our work on that after we return from camp.

Note: Due to some children being absent one group is not shown here. However, they will be seen in videos to come.

ENJOY!!
