Music Production - Whatever the Weather

We are so proud of our backdrop for the Show!  We made the "View through the window" with collage materials and we made the calico curtains.

This involved the use of lots of our maths skills.  Firstly we needed to measure the areas to decorate.  So we used a metre ruler to measure the width of the hall and the board for the window, the height of the curtains and window etc.

Then we needed to measure the calico and cut the right lengths.

       

     

Next was the sewing!

       

We also worked hard on the window.  Firstly the background was painted, then pictures of beautiful plants, birds and garden creatures were found in magazines.  The fence was painted and some children gathered foliage from the garden to finish it off!  Then Keith helped us to hang it up.  Thanks Keith!

Doesn't it look great?!!!

Of course we also had to practice our routine a LOT during the term.  Our item was rather difficult as we were creating music with our body and performing the item in 3 parts.  We sang, tapped, stomped and jumped in the puddles..... it was AWESOME!
