drama week

We have an exciting week planned this coming week. We are joining the school for a week of drama.
We are basing our week around the book by Rod Campbell, 'Dear Zoo'.
On Monday and Tuesday we will be enjoying the story, and using it to be imaginative and suggest how a story might end, We will be talking about how the children might like to change the characters and key words, which are
big, tall, scary, fierce, jumpy, grumpy, naughty,perfect.

With some of the children we will have a go at writing our own story with different animals and extend their vocabulary by using different words. (CL, L )

On Wednesday the children will be enjoying a morning of drama with year 2 based around the book, and on Thursday we have Victoria from Debutots coming in for a drama session. (please do not worry if your child is not in on those mornings, we are making sure all the children will experience mornings at school.)

NEXT STEPS. The children will be making animal masks, for a drama session, and experiencing lots of role play this week (EAD; being imaginative)
Experiencing number through numicon (MD ; numbers as labels for counting)
JIGSAW our theme this half term is healthy me, and this week we will be making healthy choices. In what we eat, and  how we play. (PD)

Please note; NO SWIMMING on wednesday mornings this half term. Swimming will be on TUESDAY morning, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday afternoon
