Project update after school visits
- A Year 5 class is finding new ways into writing and story making via this term’s topic: The Mayans
- This approach to story and writing development is an interesting cross-art model of practice, combining immersive space (visual art), physicalised character development (movement and drama), and question ‘stations’ (creative writing)
"One of my dreams is to defeat the god of darkness, and I live with my mother" - Pupil responding to a question in the ‘voice' of his Mayan character.
