Project "Home" involving PYP 5th Graders

Pupils from our IB Programme grade 5A participated in the project “Home”.
The goal of the project was to help the students understand that theatre is the art of telling stories through acting and aimed to show them how acting skills connect actors with the audience.
The project consisted of two parts. The first part was debating and the second one was an acting performance.
In the first part, children expressed their ideas about the differences between home and house, debated about what makes a good home and discussed words and proverbs derived from the word – “home”.
The second part was a performance of the fable “home”, in which students played different characters.
All the pupils enjoyed acting in the performance.
