Drama

Welcome to 'The Wonderful World of Beatrix Potter': Drama for for K-Yr 2 students!

Explore the delightful tales written by Beatrix Potter, set in rural England on a working farm. Was Peter Rabbit naughty? Was Mr McGregor an ecologically unsound farmer? Characters include Mrs Tigglywink, the Two Bad Mice, Squirrel Nutkin and more. We will be using scenes from the celebrated play ‘The Adventures of Beatrix Potter and her Friends’, by Joseph Robinette and Evelyn Swensson to produce a partly improvised performance for the end of term.

In Years 3 to 6 Drama: 'It’s Mockumentary Season!

In Term 4, students will work together in groups and produce a short film documentary. However, each documentary can be presented in a comedic style, alluding to a ‘mockumentary’ film. In groups, students will decide on the subject matter and put together a script. Using their own devices, they will take turns directing behind the scenes and performing in front of the camera. The students will be very excited to showcase their short films to the class for an exciting afternoon of cinema!
