This term, we are reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.
We are comparing and contrasting the character traits of each of the 4 children in the story, using dictionaries and a thesaurus to find wintery words and using these words to describe the story setting (Narnia). Mrs Robertson was very impressed with John’s opening sentence:
“A bitter, frosty, frozen frontier”. John was inspired by his computer game, “Guild Wars 2”.
P5/6 are also working in small groups to act out different scenes of the story, using tone, exaggeration, emphasis and body language to read parts appropriately. This role-play will be recorded on the class i pad and pupils will have the opportunity to watch their performances back and be invited to discuss any areas for improvement for next time.
At the end of term, P5/6 will then write their own short playscript for chapter 1 of a sequel to this story. They will be asked to include the title of their playscript, cast list, stage directions, character and dialogue.
Pupils have created their own lion images, by carefully sketching a lion’s face, using oil pastels to colour, then cutting strips of newspaper to decorate the lion’s mane.
