Class performance: Under the sea
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. The students shared their performances with each other and an audience of their parents/caregivers and the community. They were interviewed in a small focus group after their performance.
Achievement standard
By the end of Year 2, students describe artworks they make and those to which they respond. They consider where and why people make artworks.
Students use the elements and processes of arts subjects to make and share artworks that represent ideas.
