Drama

Mr Giles has been helping us to set up family groups for drama. We have chosen characters and roles for our family members and given the families traditional Orkney names. 

We have been investigating the jobs and chores various family members would have had 200 years ago on a traditional Orkney farm.
When we go on our visit to Corrigal farm museum we will 'work' in our family groups and get some idea of what it was really like. 
Our costumes are almost ready and next week we will have our family photographs taken. We have learned that we must look serious and try not to smile too much! 

We did a great job of pretending to walk solemnly into church and wait quietly for the minister. It doesn't seem like people had much time for fun in those days.
