Pentabus workshop with Dux
Every Monday, Class 3 has been very lucky to take part in a drama workshop with Dux. Some of you may have met Dux at the Michaelmas fair with UBI!
Dux has been leading drama sessions which encourage the children to think creatively, using vocabulary in new and fun ways. The children play many games, encouraging them to use words and sometimes create their own! They have also been introduced to lots of Dux’s friends like the BFG and Cookie monster, who also challenge the children to explore words.
In the main parts of the sessions, we are focusing on the story of the Egyptian Cinderella. Recreating the story in new and fun ways which we hope to share with you in the coming weeks.
Egyptian sunsets and jewellery
Over the past couple of weeks, Class 3 have been immersing themselves in the Egyptian topic. They designed and created their own version of an Egyptian necklace using materials they could find in the classroom. The children used images of real Egyptian necklaces as inspiration, thinking about animals they could include.
The children also considered the colours of a sunset, to recreate a sunset scene in Egypt. They focused on moving their brushes in long, sweeping motions to mimic that of a sunset. They used black paper to create the silhouettes of landmarks in Egypt.
