Your Year 6 pupils will surprise themselves as they work with us to realise just how much they’ve learnt since they’ve been at your primary school, just how many people they’ve met – and just how many places they’ve been to (both literally and metaphorically!).
Workshop Description
Your Year 6 pupils will surprise themselves as they work with us to realise just how much they’ve learnt since they’ve been at your primary school, just how many people they’ve met – and just how many places they’ve been to (both literally and metaphorically!). Gathering everything together, we’ll then introduce them to drama techniques designed to crystalise their memories – and reflect on all the skills and values that they’ll take with them on the next stage of their journey. This is, of course, all hugely valuable in itself – but if you’re thinking of staging a Leavers’ Show, you’ll also have all the elements in place to put together a performance guaranteed to wet the eyes of every member of the audience!
Outcomes: teamwork, improved drama skills, reflection.
Cross-Curricular Links: literacy, drama, PSHE.
