EYFS- Chinese dragon dance
Friday, February 8th, 2013
Thankyou to everyone who wore red to celebrate the beginning of the new year festival. This year we say ‘goodbye’ to the year of the dragon and ‘hello’ to the year of the snake!
Today we created dragon dances and many sequences of movements, individually, in pairs and in groups. We twisted, curled and changed our body shapes to move like a chinese dragon.
Using the percussion instruments we explored different sounds and rhythms to accompany dances, working together to keep a steady beat and pulse.

Today we were invited to watch the band ‘The Alchemist”. They are made up of children (and some teachers) from a local school, St Micheal’s Primary.
They did a cracking performance and many of our children are now interested in forming their own band.
