Jumping into Art was exactly what Years 1 and 2 did today. Splats came in today to help us with some drama based on ‘Katie’s Picture Show‘ by James Mayhew. We explored five different pieces of art by pretending we were actually in the painting – we thought about how it would feel to be involved in the scene. The whole day was spent making props and learning different parts resulting in a short performance for an audience. This will be followed up in class with some descriptive writing, recounting our day. Aaron from Splats said that this was the first school where he had time to rehearse the performance because the children were so responsive and well behaved: “An excellent school and excellent children”.
