Third trimester
We started our music lessons celebrating Book day and Dance day.
We used four lessons to prepare a short performance mixing Dance, Music and Literature.

We expressed with body language, mime, movements, gestures, dance one of the most favourite books. We performed in groups short choreographies about some of them.
The rest of the students had to guess the name of the books looking at these choreographies ( in Largo, Adagio, as in the moon, Andante or in Alegro or Presto).
Some of the performances were very funny. Some of them were beautiful. Everyone participated as performer or audience.

Then, students became composers and finally we´ll record the great and best performances.
You can see and listen to some compositions.
