Summary of task

During the course of a term, students participated in an annual musical theatre production as an integrated unit that developed their skills across Dance, Drama and Music. The theme was ‘under the sea’ and the Year 2 students collaborated with Year 6 students to learn the choreography that was developed or created for them by their teacher. There was an emphasis on safe dance practices, the use of space, and locomotor and non-locomotor skills.
