Year 7 are using their drama time to help improve their confidence and communication skills. Each session usually starts with some circle time. A ball is passed around the circle with the pupil holding the ball having some time to speak.
A theme for a recent session was pets. One of the class members was invited to ask a friend if they have any pets at home, and also what pets they would like.
Further questioning came from class teacher Miss Pappa. This is a great way for the Year 7 pupils to find out more information about their friends.
Our current Year 7 drama book is The Frog Prince. The story was read out by Miss Pappa. Two groups then split off to act out some of the scenes.
This is a story that has character roles for each pupil. We were able to see some great emotions being acted as the story developed to show the friendship between the main characters.
