"So innocent!" On Tuesday this week I took the afternoon off as Reece's class had a drama class that the parents could attend and the after that there was a "Edu-Dance" concert. The drama class was very interesting as apparently this is the first year that the pre-primary students are being introduced to reading plus drama lessons. The drama lessons teach them to speak together as a class/group plus also to stand up in front of an audience and speak plus plenty more. It was really great to see the different types of exercises they use to teach them this and the kids just love it!
"Just look at that cheeky face!"
Drama is very big in Perth. There are plenty of drama schools and we are always hearing that Heath Ledger studied in Perth. At the local park down the road (Heathcote reserve) there are sculptures that has been specially made and dedicated to Heath Ledger.After the drama class we were treated to a small tea party and then we went to the school hall for their edu-dance concert. They split the school into two groups and then each class has their own dance to complete. All kids have to attend boys and girls. The older kids did more the funky style of dancing but you can see that they all had fun.
The pre-primary kids did a dance about the Elephant. They were given bow-ties and had tiny little tails attached to their track pants. It was the cutest ever and my little boy (sorry big boy) did so well I nearly fell off my chair. He is normally not the most co-ordinated child but did extremely well and followed the steps correctly. He had an absolute blast and that to me was the most important.
Giving us a "wink" and a "wag" of their tails
All in all fun was had by all!
Cheers
