Lights, camera, action!

This week the pupils have been eagerly participating in activities to hone and develop their drama skills. First the children shared their experiences of drama and discussed the different types of TV genres including reality, cartoon, news and comedy. Then the pupils explored how adjusting their tone, volume and pace can help to express emotions. Equipped with this knowledge, the children challenged each other to portray different feelings during conversations and had to guess which ones were being performed. After discovering how voice actors bring to life cartoon characters, the class then made their own attempt by working in pairs to create backgrounds for some unusual people including coming up with a catchphrase and a voice for them. To finish the week, P7A have been learning how to create  ‘soundscapes’ by using their bodies to produce noises.
