Vocal Skills Activity

This week we have a lesson from Ellie on vocal skills.

We are looking at how vocal skills express emotion and how to use our voices properly.

Characterisation Activity

This week we have a lesson from Ellie on characterisation.

We are looking at how characters show different emotions and there is a fun game for you to try with your families to see if they can guess your characters emotion.

Ellie has had a go at creating her own emotions - take a look at the pictures below and see if you can guess the emotion you think she is showing.
