Acting time!

As part of our literacy programme we have been reading and interpreting plays in our reading groups. We read the plays and discussed what it was about. We decided who should be which character and how to manage th eplay if we had more or fewer people than characters.

We improvised some props...

 We practised our lines...

We figured out where we should be standing to best perform the play...and we practised some more.

We found that sometimes it was hard to decide who should take which part. 

Often we ALL wanted the biggest part!  

We realised we needed to use strategies we have learnt during our cooperative games lessons to help us work things out, for example, listening carefully, letting each person speak, and working together.
