Lower First students are learning about voice projection and really enjoy the process with our drama teacher Zoe Emanuel. Today they pretended to blow the petals off a dandelion, while making clear, loud and hard syllable sounds (no shouting or yelling!). Then there were tongue twisters – it’s harder than you think to say “Mixed Biscuits” five times in a row, clearly. In another exercise, the children were seeds growing as Miss Emanuel watered them. Who had the most unusual flowers?
The infants Shakespeare Festival will be held at the school in August, so these early drama lessons get them moving and speaking more confidently, ready to start learning their lines.
