G2 Performing Arts Assembly

Today, our Grade 2 students shared their creative talents through storytelling, drama, singing, dancing, and fine art as part of their celebration of the arts. As part of their unit of inquiry, they have been learning about folktales. In Performing Arts, they watched and read some Tinga Tinga tales and chose one that they liked. They wrote their own scripts using the Tinga Tinga Tales as their inspiration. 

Tinga Tinga tales are pourquoi stories. A pourquoi tale explains why something is the way it is. The Tinga Tinga animations and books are inspired by Tinga Tinga art from East Africa. Miss Anne-Marie's class performed a Tinga Tinga tale titled “Why Giraffes Have a Long Neck” and Miss Emma’s class performed “Why Lions Roar”.

It was wonderful to see so many families there to support our students. Thank you to Ms. Natalie Coombs for orchestrating a wonderful performance and to Mr. Mulangala for curating a great art exhibition of student work.
