Today we went to our first school assembly. All of the teachers are very proud of us. Lots of the teachers from the rest of the school told us that we were fabulous! We contributed to the whole school Harvest assembly just like all of the other children. Some classes sang wonderful songs, some recited a poem beautifully and others danced fantastically.
We impressed everyone with our choral speaking. Using Pie Corbett actions we retold the whole story of 'The Little Red Hen' word for word from beginning to end. We used loud voices and clear actions. We thought carefully about how each character would speak and had lots of fun practising making each characters voice sound different.
We have now learnt two stories in this style. It would be fun to make up our own actions for our favourite bedtime stories and then share them in school. Miss Sullivan and Mrs Lewis are going to make actions for their favourite story, 'The Gruffalo''.
Please leave a comment, we have loved hearing what everyone thought of our awesome performance today.
Maisey and I just watched the video together and I very much enjoyed a flawless performance by all the Foxes and Otters - no signs of stage fright whatsoever! Very proud :-) Maisey was practicing "The little red hen" at home all week. "The three little pigs" also made a comeback every now and then to mix things up :-)
