Drama

We have been doing drama this term and learning about the story of Hansel and Gretel.

This week we learnt about freeze frames and how we can show pictures using our bodies. 

Each group got given a picture from the story of Hansel and Gretel and then we had to show it with actions and FREEZE!


The House:
"Sophie and Shai were one half of the wall and roof. Felicia and Christina were the other half of the roof and wall and Amirah was the front door." -Amirah, Felicia, Sophie, Shai and Christina.



A Bird:
"John Paul was the head and the beak. William was the feet. Kalo and Remy were the nest. Kharsha was the wings." -William M, Kalo, Remy, John Paul and Kharsha.


Path and the pebbles:
"The first pebble was Jack, the second was Nigel, the third was Sanuka, the fourth was William and the fifth was Miguel." - Miguel, Sanuka, Nigel, William, Jack.


The Forest:
"We all love gymnastics so we used gymnastics to make two trees. Imogen and Siena were the leaves and Florence and Asher were the trunk of the tree. -Imogen, Siena, Florence and Asher.


The Cage:
"Lei'ataua was the right bar, Josh was the left bar, Xavier was the back bar, Leo was the front bar and Jai was Hansel inside the cage." - Josh, Jai, Xavier and Leo.
