Noah's Ark dance

This morning in PE we used dance to tell the story of Noah's Ark. We pretended to be Noah and chopped, sawed, hammered and painted the ark. Then we had to go looking for animals to take on the ark. We moved as animals in different ways. We were...

fierce tigers!

big elephants!

tiny mice!

and waddling penguins!

Lucy and Grace made an arch and we all walked into the ark two by two.

We made movements to show the rain was falling. Then we worked with a partner and used our bodies to make the ark. We had to move around on the water, bobbing up and down and swaying from side to side!

We pretended to be the dove that Noah sent to search for dry land. We used our arms as wings and flew around the room. Then we swooped to pick up an olive branch and flew back to the ark.

Finally we were the rainbow that God sent as a promise to never flood the world again. We worked with a partner. We crouched down, then slowly rose up with the music, raising our arms and joining them together to make the shape of the rainbow.
