Production

School is well underway with preparations for production at the end of the term. In room 10 we have chosen to use the theme of sport.

The students started the process by choosing six different sports that they feel are important in Pahiatua. The sports they chose were rugby, basketball, cricket, hockey, soccer and netball.

Then they completed brainstorms about the sports writing down all the words they could think of to do with each individual sport. These brainstorms were used to write the lyrics for our song. We are using the song Shake it Off by Taylor Swift, but adding our own lyrics.

Finally the children chose a sport and though up two different moves that could be used to represent them. This was a very interesting session and the students came up with some great moves. I then used these moves to create a routine to go with out song.

So far we have learned our whole dance and are finalising and perfecting it. We have also been working on learning the song as we will have to sing this too. Luckily we don't need to sing and dance at the same time and we have a local sound technician coming to visit the class next week to record their singing. On the night the students will have the music played for them and they just have to do their awesome dancing!

We're looking forward to it, only a week and a half to go. Check back at the end of term for photos and videos of the night.
