ROOM 5 STAY ALIVE!

Puriri’s adventures continue in the Survival Islands.

In a big storm the ship crashed into jagged rocks and began to sink.

The Room 5 pirate children started running around on the decks panicking but a big Genie came up out of the sea spray and waves. He told them that in order to survive they must put on their life jackets, grab their percussion instruments and swim to the survival island that matched their percussion instrument. He pointed out three different islands that lay near by.

This island is called ‘Beat It.’

These children beat off the baby sharks guarding the island and safely brought themselves and their instruments ashore.

This island is called ‘Shake It’.   

These children held their shaking instruments up high and wriggled and shook themselves, twisting and turning through the network of rocks in front of the island and finally came ashore holding their shaking instruments.

This survival island is called ‘Scrape It’. 

The children who went to this island swam with their scraping instruments through big swarms of jellyfish which they had to scrape off their arms, legs and faces. Luckily they were not Stingers!

We are learning the names of the classroom instruments.

We are learning how each instrument makes its sound.

We are learning to play in time with the music by listening for the beat.
