The Arts
Music
-
Pitch (melody, harmony)
Use voice to create high pitched and low pitched sounds to depict different dinosaurs.
DDS DDC DDL DDCR GCC
-
Listen to different dinosaur noises and identify if they are high pitched or low pitched.
DDC DDL GCC
SCIENCE
Investigate the dinosaurs that made these noises. What dinosaurs made high pitched noises? What dinosaurs made low pitched sounds?
DDC DDL
Dynamics and expression
Use soft and loud sounds to depict different dinosaurs (e.g. smaller dinosaurs would be soft sounds and larger dInosaurs would be loud sounds)
DDS DDC DDL DDCR GCC GCP
-
Form and structure
Teacher (big dinosaur) stomps a musical pattern and students (little dinosaurs) have to echo it back (by stomping).
DDS DDC DDGM GCC GCP
-
Texture
Layering of percussion instrument sounds to create the sounds of a dinosaur jungle.
DDS DDC DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
-
Soundscape where students have to keep adding noises to the soundscape to create a dinosaur jungle atmosphere.
DDS DDC DDCR GCC GCP
DRAMA
Students collaboratively portray a dinosaur - one student starts off as part of the dinosaur and one by one students add more parts to the dinosaur (through movement)
DDS DDC DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
Dance
-
Relationships
One student has to do a movement and the other student has to mimic their movement.
DDS DDC DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
-
Dynamics
Students are to represent the different energies of each dinosaur (e.g. glide in the wind like a pteranodon or stomp like a huge tyrannosaurus rex).

-
Body as an instrument
Get students to make different body shapes by representing a baby dinosaur hatching out of an egg.
DDS DDC DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
MUSIC
Students create a piece of music using instruments to represent a baby dinosaur hatching out of an egg.
DDS DDC DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
DRAMA
Represent a baby dinosaur hatching out of an egg through the use of body movements and facial expressions.
DDS DDC DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
Drama
Role, character and relationships
Students get dressed up in dinosaur costumes and try to stay in character as long as possible.
DDS DDL DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
ENGLISH
Students stay in character and write journal entires about what they (the dinosaur) have done this week at school.
DDC DDL DDCR GCL GCC
Students are given a card with a picture of a non-living thing from the pre-historic illustration (e.g. volcano, river) and they must communicate what they are to their peers by only using movements .
DDS DDC DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
DANCE
Students are given a card with a picture of a non-living thing from the pre-historic illustration (e.g. volcano, river) and they must communicate what they are to their peers by only using locomotor and non-locomotor movements.
DDS DDC DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
Students perform the relationship between the t-rex and the smaller dinosaurs (e.g. smaller dinosaurs are scared of the t-rex).
DDS DDE DDC DDL DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
DANCE
Create a dance sequence that depicts the relationship between the t-rex and the smaller dinosaurs.

-
Students take on the role of a palaeontologist and dig for fossils using dramatisation.
DDC DDL DDCR GCC GCP
-
-
Students take on the role of a caveman and must move and speak like a caveman without breaking character.
DDS DDC DDL DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
-
Voice and movement
Dinosaur Simon Says where students have to follow the dinosaurs instructions and movements without getting tricked.
DDS DDC DDL DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC
Dinosaur Hokey Pokey where students demonstrate dinosaur related movements to the altered version of the song Hokey Pokey.
DDS DDE DDC DDL DDFM DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
-
Space and time
Students perform movements of their favourite dinosaur using half of the stage and then the whole stage. Students discuss whether it is better to use half the stage or the whole stage to perform.
DDS DDC DDL DDGM DDCR GCC GCP
MATHEMATICS
Measure the full length of the stage using informal measurements. The measure the length of half of the stage using the same informal measurement and see what the difference is.
DDC GCN
Language, ideas, dramatic meaning; mood and atmosphere; and symbol
Students pretend that they are going in a time machine to the pre-historic time. Students are in charge of lighting and music in order to create the sense that they are in a time machine.
