Year 5 Hawaiian Hula Dancers and The Coral Reef

ABOUT THE HAWAIIAN HULA

In ancient HAWAII, before Hawaiians had a written language, the HULA dance was used to tell stories. Each movement of the dance told part of a story. The hula was like a history book for the Hawaiian people. In Hawaii, children can go to special classes to learn hula dancing.

The children worked incredibly hard during this project, to get the proportions of the body correct and to create the perfect scenic background.  I think you will agree that they have done an outstanding job!

 

ABOUT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF

The GREAT BARRIER REEF is the world’s largest coral reef, located in AUSTRALIA. The reef is so large that it can be seen from outer space. The Great Barrier Reef is home to an extremely diverse range of life, from the actual living coral that make up the reef to the fish, turtles, dolphins and whales among many others.

The children created their own coral reefs, inserting plants and sea creature that are partially hidden among the beautiful coral.
