Happy Friday, Y6!

Maths – LO: solving problems
 
Just like yesterday, click here to join me for today’s task.

Reading – LO: RIC or conveying character

Your task today is either a RIC from FirstNews, or you can choose to convey character from the short film ‘Catch it’ that we watched yesterday.

Click here for your RIC.

If you decide to convey character, you need to use the speech that you created for the different scenes yesterday and act them out! Feel free to change your speech slightly if you wish and remember we are conveying character – this means lots of expression in your voice, obvious body language between the characters and most of all, enjoy yourself!

You could choose members of your household to act out the scenes with you or you could do it yourself!

I’d love to see your attempts so please send them over if you get the chance.

Drama – LO: theatre genres
 
Click here to start today’s task all about different performance styles in plays.
Once you’ve read the website and watched the videos, complete the following sentence stems in your home learning book.
1. Genre means…
2. My favourite type of theatre was… because…
3. My least favourite was… because…
4. Three things I have learnt today are…
Next, complete activities one and two.
An example for activity one could be to change the genre of Little Red Riding Hood to be a comedy. Some of the lines might change in order to make the audience “howl” with laughter eg more terrible wolf puns. The costumes might change to be funnier, like a wolf with an exaggeratedly large head and bug eyes.
Have a look at the example below for activity two.
As always, email me with your efforts!
