Reception to Year 1 Dance Concert
Words cannot quite express how proud we are of every Reception and Year 1 student for their amazing enthusiasm, energy and excitement during our dance lessons and the dance concert! Each dance represented the changing seasons as the girls danced through Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring in a beautiful array of rainbow costumes. The dance program is a special part of our learning in Semester 1. Our dance teacher Kirsty built a beautiful and trusting rapport with the girls and developed their ability to connect and collaborate with each other using expressive arts. Each week new dance skills were introduced, and the students had opportunities to experiment, play and respond expressively to music. They worked in partnership and built an understanding of themselves as creative artists. This was such a wonderful way to showcase their learning journey!

Reception and Year 1 Teachers
On the concert day we had to put our leotards on. We did not have shoes on. The ground was cold. Then we were there. First we did skipping. Then we did the right-hand walk. Then we did the left-hand walk. Then the Year 1s went on. There were leaves falling. Then the other Year 1s came on. They were butterflies. Then Ms Clark’s girls came on. They were wearing black skirts with dots on them. They were so beautiful. They huddled together and they fluttered around each other.
