The traditional Easter message is, this year, being done in "tableaux" by my class for the end of term service.
The class have broken the story down into 10 main parts:
which they will turn into "freeze-frames."
They'll be writing (and reading out) a caption to explain each one so there'll be language elements, they'll have to work together as effective contributors and they'll have to "act" as well as making the props. This activity (being done as a series of lessons - to draw out the story - then practical "workshops" to make props and work on the action and the transitions from scene to scene) is a real cross-curricular, cross-capacity exercise.
...and it's not every day you get to say to your class "put your cross down by the donkey in the corner."
