Lesson Plans
SINGING
One Brick at a Time: Children need to learn the whole song for lessons and in the coming weeks we will be setting the ‘One Brick at a Time Challenge’ where each child has been allocated a small section of the song (please find your name in one of the five lyric versions below) to film themselves singing their section and this will involve passing a ‘brick’ (or similar if you don’t have one or too heavy for our younger students) in and out of shot and we will stitch it together into the the full song. An example of how this will work can be found in the short video clip below.

DRAMA
We have asked students to work with the relevant monologue below, using the supporting advice given during lessons and in the clips to learn and record themselves performing it in full character. We also gave scope for children to write and film their own short monologue instead. We would then love for them to share these with us. If they feel content we would like to play this to the group and if they are feeling very brave to even try and deliver it live! We can then discuss feedback to the benefit of the whole group.
As a good warm up exercise we also provided some good tongue twisters which are a good drama vocal warm up as well a a bit of fun!
