GARY - what you have learned.

You:

• listen and follow stories, taking in events, characters and roles
  
• retell stories
  
• think up your own ideas for the story, to change and explore it further
  
• create characters and give them names
  
• use descriptive words like ‘ strong’ and ‘evil’ 
  
• change your voice to play a part
  
• solve problems and show good decision-making when choosing costumes
  
• use colours to represent character types
  
• play together with children in order to develop your ideas and your play
  
• direct other children in their roles. 

Future ideas - you could:

• write captions for pictures
• utilise the workshop area to create resources – masks, jewellery
• look at murtis of Rama and Sita and talk about what you notice
• think and talk about special people
• talk about why Rama and Sita might be special to Hindus
• invite Hindu members of the community to come into school to discuss arti and puja in their home
• develop ways of working with other children to negotiate roles, take turns and share fairly.
