In English, we have been using our drama skills to empathise with characters from our class book ‘Street Child’. Firstly, we acted out some scenes from the book to explore the different emotions that Mr. Spink and Jim were feeling during key events. Two people from each group focussed on the emotion whilst the other children acted out the scene. Also, we have practiced some ‘hot seating’ to help develop a more in-depth understanding of Jim’s thoughts and feelings. For this activity, we focussed on the fact that Jim had lost his family and how he felt now that he was living at the workhouse.
