Dance Project With Yewstock

On 23rd of June our class learnt a dance with Yewstock School - Eclis taught us the dance. We only had three secions to learn it, so we had to pick it up quite quickly! Everybody enjoyed this so much. Our third secion was at Yewstock school in the morning. Then after lunch we walked to the exchange in Sturminster Newton. Luckily Yewstock schoolis in Sturminster Newton so we didn't have to walk that far.

Dance project with Yewstock!!!

Through out last month, we were working with a school called Yewstock and have been working up to something magical! Together between the both of us we have been dancing away to then perform it at the exchange in Sturminster Newton. We have all had are ups and downs doing this but so far we have all enjoyed it (After all, we got a biscuit after every section!) We all did really well and eventually came out

with something amazing and we wouldn't of been able to do it without our dance teacher exlis! He was amazing and always teaches us new things and taught many Yewstock children new things as well! We all performed perfectly and all tried are best and in the end got a round of applause from the leader of Dorset's education leader!

Yewstock Dance Project

On the 23rd of June, we went to Yewstock school to do a dance project. We had to practise loads because the dance was really hard but really fun. Exlis is really good at dancing because he had been for doing it for years. We were going to perform it at the exchange in Sturminster Newton in front of lots of headteachers. We only had three sessions to learn it, talk about cutting it close! We dance to Shout! by Dizzie Rascal and James Cordon. We practiced in this huge gazebo thing it made you look yellow but it was really hot and we couldn't do one of the moves. We had to keep going through the routine and then again and again. At the end of the routine we done a bust-a-move which is where everyone goes in a does a bit on their own. That was my favourite part!

Yewstock Dance!

In Year 6 we have just finished a fantastic dance project! Yes, that's right! We worked on it with Exlis from Pure Funk who comes in regularly on Fridays. We did this dance with Yewstock - it was a great experience, We only had three practises. We had to work really hard and concentrate. On the 23nd June 2010 we went to Yewstock all day! Then, in the afternoon, we went to The Exchange in Sturminster Newton to preform our amazing dance and show off our moves to the world! Or just a town...

We did the dance to "Shout" by Dizzee Rascal and James Corden, it was great because most of us liked that song and when it got to the chorus, some people went 'Smithy!'

One of the great parts was that it got recorded by a REAL CAMERA PERSON! It was amazing!

Hopefully, you got a good feel to the experience!

Making new football shirts for the South African football team

On Thursday18th June (Yesterday) we made football shirts. We had to design them first. All of the designs  looked really complicated and difficult to paint on fabric. We had to think of the national animals and symbols of South Africa. We were given different colour tee-shirts that we had to work on. At the end of it they looked amazing. Feel free to come and look at them in the hall after school time.

Making South Africa Masks

On Monday and Tuesday 14th and 15th June,we made masks for international arts week.We started with an ordinary mask and then we soaked up mod rock then put it on and it dried over night and then the next day we started painting them.We all had design of what our masks would look like and then we painted them on and waited for them to dry.Then we finished and did other things.

National Anthem Verse Making

In International Arts Week we were composing a new verse of the South African National Anthem as you've probably guessed, it is our country.

We first kept listening to the National anthem to get the beat, tune and the syllables of each line which was 9 syllables in all of the first three lines and the last line was 14 syllables.

Once we had done that we had to come up with the lyrics- that was quite difficult! After that it got even more difficult when we had to compose the music for it by listening to the National anthem and copying the tune. A good thing was that the 1st and 3rd line was exactly the same. (Phew that makes it bit easier). Some of them are still not complete including mine but there getting there and the finished ones sound really good.

Masks of South Africa

On Monday 15th, we started are work for international arts week and first we started of with the best kind of art possible, masks! It was hard work for everyone as we almost had to start from scratch!

 We had to use mod rock because we were moulding the masks from another mask which you could only paint, but it was a good thing to use as a mould template. Then we had to wait for the mod rock to dry, then when it was, we could paint!

 We all ended up with wonderful finished products even if they were only strips of painted mod rock they were all great! Come and see them on Friday 18th of June!

Designing football shirts

On Thursday 17th of June we designed football shirts for South Africa. First we planned them on a piece of paper and then we made them on fabric which was quite hard, although it worked well for most people.
We all had different base colours to start off with and I had black,the colours didn't show up well on black so I had to do lots of layers.

South African traditional Zulu tribe clay!!!!!!

On Tuesday afternoon, we made some really funky clay models based on the South African Zulu tribe.  First, we had a go at making coils and then we began making a slab for the base of our models.  It took me ages to make mine. In the end, my shield was too big for the base so I had to make a prop as there was only 7 minutes left!!!!!!!!!!  Some people made jewelry but most people made shields!!!  Later on in the afternoon, we painted our models.  I painted mine brown then added some yellow to make a bronze colour!!!

Jewellery made out of Clay.

On Tuesday 14th June 2010 Year 6 Made Zulu tribe jewellery out of Clay! First we played around with the clay followed by making coils! It was a fantastic day
everyone had fun,and no one moaned about their clay! Even though some of the clay was a bit
dry.

Soon after we got to make our jewellery,it was very hard because every time you went to roll it,it all cracked and you would have to start again. although there was a good side to this because in the end it turned out Perfect!                                                     

See what I mean by they turned out perfect!
