Drama in Room 5! We are Talented Authors, Illustrators and Actors!
This week we spent creating our scripts and performing various plays. Finally, we ended up with a fantastic idea of inviting the Gruffalo into Room 5!
We are so excited to work on our play. Our incredible scriptwriters produced a number of great scenes. Our next steps are to select the best ideas and create the final version of 'The Gruffalo Did It!" play.
It will be very hard to select the best actors, so we are preparing for a big audition day to give everyone an equal opportunity to try for a role! Auditions are hard - maybe the hardest part of acting - but all actors do it, so, Room 5's actors are in excellent company!

Room 5's Identity Dragon - Learn-Create-Share Project
Room 5's Identify Dragon Projet
We've been learning about myths and legends.... we learnt about unicorns and other mythical creatures and all of a sudden we ended up here... Dragons, Dragons, Dragons!
Are they real? Are they mythical? Why? How? Any evidence? So many questions!!!
Room 5 was extremely enthusiastic to explore this topic. We read a lot of stories, we watched some videos and we put our thinking hats on.... Well, if the dragons are not real, they are still VERY COOL! We created our own Dragon that is now looking after our classroom!
We used different art, creative and collaborative techniques to create our dragon:
- drawing on the topic
- paper mache
- other craft techniques that sometimes were re-invented by Rm 5's learners!
- collage
- creative narrative writing
- report writing
- instructional writing
- measurements and plan proposals
- problem-solving
- and many more!
We had fun learning!

Our incredible virtual ART exhibition!
Due to an unexpected Covid-19 situation, many countries and schools missed out on many great opportunities to experience great mass events! Many concerts have been cancelled around the glove, so GTS had to cancel our Cultural Festival 2020 and the Art Exhibition too... But GTS is not just an ordinary school - we decided to postpone our great events and, hopefully, we will have our Cultural Festival and Art Exhibition at the end of Term 4. Fingers crossed!
Meanwhile, we invite you to see some of our wonderful artworks online! Enjoy! Please click here.
