Zimbabwe Mass Displays Curriculum (Grade 4)

This curriculum outlines Mass Displays for Grade 4 learners, focusing on developing skills in music, background art, and arena acts. It emphasizes creativity, coordination, and cultural expression through movement and artistic performance. This curriculum is part of the broader Physical Education, Sport, and Mass Displays syllabus for Junior School Learners (Grades 3-7).

Music

Grade 4 learners explore rhythm and stimuli through percussion band activities. They learn to play various percussion instruments and respond to different rhythmic stimuli. This helps develop their musicality, timing, and coordination.

Background Art

Learners create letters and pictures related to the chosen themes for their mass displays. They develop skills in design, drawing, and painting, applying these to create visually appealing backdrops and props for their performances.

Arena Acts

Arena acts involve rhythmic movement and choreography within a defined performance space. Grade 4 learners develop routines from play and sport themes, combining movement and choreography with linear and circular formations. This develops their spatial awareness, coordination, and ability to work together in a group.
