Year 4 Drama

Lesson: Literacy

Class: Year 4 Year: 2016 - 2017

WALT use drama to explore animal extinction and animals living in captivity

Today we moved on to look at animals because animals were traditionally used in circuses.  In an exciting drama lesson with Mrs Baillie, we explored the movement and posture of different jungle animals creating ‘The Futuristic Museum of Extinct Animals’.  Next, we created ‘The Live Jungle’ soundscape where we started off as trees and then some children changed into animals, whilst other children became poachers.  Canes were used by the poachers to create a cage and the trapped animals were given ‘human voices’ to describe how they would be feeling.
