Hi, my name is Isabel! I’m in Class 7P at XP East. I’m here today doing this blog because I want to tell you how amazing my lesson was in drama with Mrs Poncia.
At the start, we did a trust activity. Trust is important in drama because you have to trust that the rest of the cast in a play are going to learn and say their lines at the right time. Mrs Poncia asked us to find a partner, and to label ourselves A and B. The A’s had to hold their hands out and B’s had to put their index finger into A’s hand. Then the A’s walk around the drama area and the B’s have to close their eyes. We had to really trust the person leading us around not to make us bump into anything!
After that we had different partners and we had to make three different trust moves. My first partner was Dominic and my second partner was Miss Parker. Both of us came up with three more amazing trust activities. After that we could show our moves to the rest of the group.
Finally, the last thing we did was a trust walk. We basically got into groups of around 5 or 6 and we numbered ourselves 1,2,3,4,5,6 and then the person at the front held their hand out and the person behind them put their index finger on their palms. Only the person at the front would have their eyes open and lead the human chain around the drama area, the rest of the line kept their eyes closed. All members of the group had a go leading the chain. Unfortunately, that was the end of that lesson.
So, now it is goodbye from me but make sure to tune in soon for another amazing blog about our lessons 🙂
