Hailstones - Body Percussion :)

Hailstones

Some children from Room 5 and 6 are learning to explore vocal and instrumental sounds and to create and perform from a graphic score.

The arrangement of "Hailstones" is made up of repeated word patterns from the poem. The children practised imitating and repeating rhythmic patterns using their voices, body percussion and untuned instruments. Here is our spoken version. Enjoy!

WISE Challenge #2

Last Friday we completed our second WISE challenge!
We had a designer, two messengers and a builder in our group. It was challenging but everyone tried very hard to describe and ask questions about the "Lego building" to each other and we all worked together as a group.

WISE Challenge: Marshmallow and Spaghetti!

Room 6 completed our first W.I.S.E. challenge. We had to build the tallest tower with marshmallow and spaghetti, without eating them, and our tower had to be freestanding for at least 10 seconds.
We Worked together: listening to our buddy, sharing our ideas and helping each other.
We Inquired: thinking about how to make it strong and tall.
We Self managed: working quietly, following instructions, being tidy and finishing on time.
We were Enthusiastic: encouraging each other, not giving up and having fun!!!
