Infant Woodrow

         This Morning, we all went to Browick Road Infant School to do some performances and workshops. Our group and another group performed to the school in the assembly. The group that went first did a play about the Red Cross man that explained how the money raised in the charity shops go toward the Red Cross to help them cure others. The second performance, ours, was about a boy who didn't play with his toys and, in the end, donated them all to charity.

         The Workshop was very good. We had a very well behaved group, well done!, who always listened. We had them playing games and learning at the same time. This is called Theatre In Education (TIE). They drew a lovely picture and they will be going on the blog, as well as the performance video, at a later date.

           We taught the children about charity shops and raised awareness of what they do to help. We did this through the performances and workshops. At the end, they fully understood why charity is important and, although we didn't get any donations, over 80% of them said they would donate in the future. We feel that we didn't get any donations because we live in an age where people expect to get donations. Everyone gets letters though the door saying that they must donate and most families ignore them. We think that this had an effect on our letter that we gave to the children.

           We learn from our mistakes, although we got our point across.
