We are studying Skeletons and Movement this half term. We will be discovering that humans and some other animals have skeletons and muscles for support, protection and movement. Follow the links below to explore human and animal skeletons. Your task is to create an annotated model of a skeleton or create a document of your choice to demonstrate your findings. This could be a PowerPoint presentation, poster or leaflet, the choice is yours.

This half term we are finding out about playscripts. We have looked at the features of playscripts and we have watched a performance for World Book Day in school. You have a choice of possible tasks to complete. Firstly, you could create your own playscript, carefully considering characters, settings and stage directions. Secondly, you may wish to design a set by creating a model box. A model box is a scaled-down, 3D model of what the designer thinks the set should look like. Follow the link below to see a model box for the Beauty & the Beast stage show or the BBC’s guide and template.
