The Arts Scope and SequenceYear 2 Syllabus
The syllabus is based on the requirement that all students will study at least two of the five Arts subjects from Pre-primary to Year 8. It is a requirement that students study a performance subject and a visual subject.
Year Level Description
In Year 2, learning in Drama builds on the knowledge and skills developed in the early years.
Students explore personal events and fictional stories to create drama. They continue to develop improvisation skills, exploring possibilities for voice, movement and role. Students are introduced to the element of situation.
Students experience drama as performers and audience members, presenting scenes in which they apply drama narratives to link the action with an ending. Students view drama based on unfamiliar stories.
As they make and respond to drama, students experiment with the elements of voice, movement, role and situation. Students explore reasons why people make drama.
