This week in year 4 the children have continued to explore the story of the Enchantress of the Singing Sands. They have thought carefully about each character and brought the story alive in their classrooms through drama.
It was brilliant to see the children get into character so effortlessly - we were slightly frightened of all the evil enchantresses we suddenly had across year 4!
"It was really fun pretending to be the enchantress, I made sure to be as evil as possible!" Fiki, Larch
The children have also had a go at 'hot seating' where, in character, they were questioned about their behaviour, likes and dislikes. It was definitely a brilliant way for the children to fully understand the characters' motives and predict what they might do next. This could also be a great activity to try at home when the children are reading with you - it's always good fun!
Brilliant work, year 4. We're now so excited to read the imaginative stories you are all going to write!
