Year 3 & 4 Drama Activities

I like to have a couple of different units of work I alternate on a 2 yearly cycle when I teach Drama to Stage 2 in Term 4 each year. I also teach this with Year 5 in Term 4 as Year 6 take part in a Digital Yearbook Unit of Work every year. This is why the student activities for Stages 2 and 3 are the same.

The News Report Unit is based on the Creative Arts Syllabus Stage 3 Drama Unit: "The Search" involving students creating a news story and writing a script in groups. You can use green screen and iPads for this.

The Stop Motion Animation Unit of work is very popular and gives students a great chance to be creative and expand technology skills. Students create scripts and make mini sets and characters and use iPads with a Stop Motion app to put their movies together.
