Drama, Dialogue & Dark Discoveries: Year 6 in Action!

Dina Asher-Smith class • January 15, 2025

The children Year Six have had another amazing, busy week. As part of our English lessons we have been studying a model text from Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. 

The children have worked in partners taking the role of Nelly and Mrs. Linton and have really been able to get into character. To do this we has used role play to get into character considering how dialogue is used to move the story forward. Here are a few examples that the children have created so far.

Original piece “Don’t you see that face?” she enquired, gazing earnestly at the mirror. And say what I could, I was incapable of making her comprehend it to be her own; so I rose and covered it with a shawl.

“It’s behind there still!” she pursued, anxiously. “And it stirred. Who is it? I hope it will not come out when you are gone! Oh! Nelly, the room is haunted! I’m afraid of being alone!”


“It’s still within my eye-sight!” in a shivering tone. “Who is this? I hope this cruel creature does not come out to kill me. Oh! Nelly, the hotel is demonic, please don’t leave me!”

Troy

 

“It is behind it!” she said in an anxious tone. “It keeps swaying! What is is? I hope it won’t attack me when you leave! Oh! Nelly, the bedroom has spirits!”

Millie


In Art we are looking at the media of photography. The children have begun by looking at how images can be taken from different places and reassemble to create a new image.
