Autumn
Drama Event
Every Autumn, for
4 weeks, we run a Victorian drama event which looks at certain
social issues comparing them with life today. A short script
is learnt in advance of the visit. The play is performed with
a professional actor after a tour of the museum. The guided
tour, lating around 50 - 60 minutes, takes the children through
the cluttered and dusty shop, offices and work rooks of JB
Bowler, Victorian engineer, brass founder and mineral water
manufacturer.
Writing and
performing plays, understanding and using appropriate grammar,
following written instructions, turning dialogue into reported
speech - all are relevant to LITERACY HOUR. Work sheets are
available for use in class after the visit, as are LOAN PACKS
if your visit is History related.
The event lasts
approximately two hours (add extra time to visit the shop
or if you wish to eat a packed lunch on the premises). Full
teachers' notes, script &c are sent well in advance
Bookings taken
from late June - £4.00 per head (Staff/helpers free)
