We have been practicing almost every day (if not raining) for our school athletics.
Today we have been learning how to do our high jump and long jump with our buddy class. We really enjoyed it, because they are fun.

Our Class Production
The Lorax by Dr Suess
Our story began in a plastic world called Thneedville, everything uses 96 batteries and when you swim in the water your body glows!
The Onceler had finally found Truffullla Trees he had searched the world for Trees such as those. The Lorax was devastated as the super-axe-hacker chopped these taonga/treasures down four at a time... no more fruits for the Barbaloots... they got crummies in their tummies...
GA ZUMP !!!
“I am the Lorax I speak for the trees, I speak for the trees as the trees have no lungs and I’m asking you Onceler at the top of my lungs! STOP cutting down the trees....” Jess (our Lorax) said.
At the end of our story the last Truffula Tree is chopped down and our final song with flowers asked the audience to let things grow.
Dance: Children developed skills in improvising a towns person in Thneedville, they used energy and expression as guitarists in “How Bad Can I Be?”. Then they utilized the whole space during the Barbaloot Serenade, on stage and holding hands with a partner through the audience.
Drama: Children developed confidence and awareness of performance, they used the ideas in the book and movie and made decisions on what characters would do, the voices they would need and actions characters would make.
Communicating and Interpreting stories like The Lorax helps with their understanding of drama and its purpose in our lives and in our community.
A special Thank you to Whaea Jean who came to support our learning in the Preforming Arts each week, you are so amazing and we couldn't have pulled it off without you xxx
