This sequence of learning activities will focus on painting, paper techniques, and an exploration of different media and materials. Students will have the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills, in the ability to use cutting, gluing and painting skills in order to create an artwork for a specific purpose.
Drama: The Gruffalo
In this drama unit, students draw on their knowledge of, and interest in, the topic, working with the teacher to develop a story about a Mouse and his survival. The format is that of a Narrative, but students are active participants rather than an audience observing the action of the drama. The conventional narrative patterns (orientation, rising action and complication, climax and resolution) are incorporated in the developing story. Students and the teacher work together in a role to develop the action of the drama, using dialogue, movement, sound and improvisation to advance its course. The elements of drama (tension, focus, mood, contrast, symbol and space) are all incorporated in this unit.
