YEAR 6 BLOG – WK 3

This week we have been rehearsing even more for our Lion King. While the cast have been busy at that, people not with a speaking part have been making and painting elephant tusks (pieces of cardboard for the elephant graveyard scene) and cardboard leaves. People have also been making and painting the backdrop for the battle scene where Simba battles Scar to become King.

We have also had Mayan day where we did activities about food, clothing & fashion, stories, pyramids/temples and even face paints (that is why on Thursday your child came home with weird marks on their faces).

In English we have been writing monologues about how Mufasa would’ve felt during the presentation of Simba.

In Maths we have been working out our finances for the Lion King performances, looking at profit margins for snacks we could sell at the interval and how much profit we could make to give to charity once we have paid back our outgoings for all of our props and necessary equipment for the show.
