Writing: taking on a character

Wednesday 20 November 2019

We’re going to write a character description of a pirate this week so, to get us in the mood, we got ourselves into character through some drama.

After a few warm-up games, we started to move around the room slowly, with big strides, like a clown and then we posed as different characters we read about last week.

We were Peter Pan. We were The Evil Stepmother
We were Fantastic Mr Fox

We were Cinderella.

To get us into a piratey mood, we then thought about what our pirate was like and created scenes as a group of our piratey adventures.

We sailed across the seven seas.We attacked any boats that got in our way.

Some fab drama from Year 4 who are now very much looking forward to writing their pirate character descriptions. Watch this space.
