This term Year 3 is participating in Yoga and Drama lessons.
Drama takes place every second Thursday
afternoon. The students are completing a unit on explorers which will skill
them in improvisation and movement. They will learn to:
· express dramatic meaning by taking on and sustaining familiar and
different roles and by selecting character-specific props, gestures and
movements
· use the elements of drama to deepen the meaning of the drama and in
discussing drama work
· interpret the meaning of their own drama and that of others
YOGA
Our Yoga lessons take place every
Wednesday for 15 minutes. Yoga enhances physical flexibility, refines balance
and coordination, develops focus and concentration and boosts self-esteem and
confidence. Year 3 have been following a program called Cosmic Kids. This is an
online yoga lesson for kids where they are taken on a journey while completing
different yoga moves.
The students have all learnt the secret
yoga code…..Namaste.

In class we have been doing yoga on Wednesday and drama on Thursday they are so FUN!3 2 1....ACTION!! Now for drama. we play a warm up game called the treasure box, where we pass a box around a circle and each person must pretend to silently open the lid using expression and different emotions. The an item such as skipping, a bike or whatever the person wants to pull put of the magic box. The person then pretend to use it as if it was real. The treasure box gets passed around the circle. Another warm up activity we play is pass the torch. The aim of the game is to sing a song and when the songs finishes if you are the last one holding the torch you need to pull a scary, funny, crazy face in front of the class without laughing.
Namaste!! Yoga is a relaxing moment.
We do yoga to relax and to keep calm. We do drama to explore our imagination and to refresh our minds to have a moment with ourselves. We learn about all the moves through fun missions. We love it!!!
This was all so FUN!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi John, I found it fun too when Mrs Shelton showed me on Wednesday. I hope you are relaxing on your holiday. See you when you get back
DeleteDear Mrs Standring/ Miss Veiling,
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part of yoga is to calm down and enjoy the new stories each Wednesday for 15 mins.
My favourite part about DRAMA is how you can express yourself in many different ways

I love doing yoga because it also helps my gymnastics skills.
ReplyDeleteAt gymnastics we call the thing that you put your legs up from the ground and hold your body with your arms, forward chicken.
Cool Lucas, You should start a list of terms used in yoga. Then we can use them when talking about it.
