Trees - Dance

What a wind we had yesterday, the trees and leave blowing and bending. 
The children demonstrated how trees move in different types of wind and this 
inspired us to express their idea in the form of dance. 

The children watched a video of dancers using fabric and movement to express the idea of the ocean. 

The children used fabric and danced to music that alternated between fast and slow tempos, representing different kinds of wind. The fabric represented the branches and leaves and Simone used brown fabric to become the trunk of a tree which is why you can't see her face in any of the photos.

Everyone was very engaged in this activity and they asked to listen to the music twice. 
Each child displayed creativity as they moved their bodies and fabric.
