Description
Summary:Year 2 teacher Clare Fairclough initially introduced drama into her classroom to try to raise writing standards amongst the boys. Now she finds that it's an essential tool, not only in developing literacy rates amongst all pupils, but also in personalising the learning for every child. The lesson is based on the theme of Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War, including her fight with her parents to leave, and her experiences whilst travelling to and working within the Scutari hospital. Clare, pupils and the headteacher comment on the various elements of the lesson, including initial warm-up games and group work to practise the key elements of sound and movement, culminating in various role-plays acted out by pupils. Clare believes in the effectiveness of a cross-curriculum, inclusive approach to history, whilst touching on the challenges this can bring for teachers and pupils within the classroom.
