Play - The Great Bank Robbery

The Ice Cream's reading group did a play from a Part 2 journal. It had a lot of puns in it and it was very funny.

Drama

Today we did drama using our bodies and no talking. We had to get into a variety of statues on a given theme. We used freeze frame where we used our bodies to make an image to capture an idea, theme or moment in time. We had to stay connected to one another in some way. The group sculptures were amazing! It was good to see creative thinking, space beenig used well, different levels and body sapes. What wonderful kids! I didn't know my class could be so quiet for so long. They had to come up with other communication means. We also played a drama game called ' What are you doing?' where a person had to act out a given activity, then someone had to come up to them and ask, 'What are you doing?' and they had to tell them a new activity to do. . Here are some photos from today's session.
