Ballads and Bairns 2008
This year the Ballads and Bairns project is based on
traditional stories which explore the relationship between humans and the
natural world. The stories are Jack and the Dancing Trees, the Seal-Man,
and the Salmon Spirit. The project is divided into four week slots
| Week 1 |
The children hear the stories, then break into groups,
with each group re-telling the story from the viewpoint of one of the
main characters. The retelling can take various forms eg role play, a
diary entry, a TV interview, tableau vivant, comic strip. |
| Week 2 |
Together we make character-based songs in small groups |
| Week 3 |
We tell the story with the addition of the songs we've
made |
| Week 4 |
We'll be working with the children who'll be doing the
final performance which will consist of spoken narrative and
illustrative songs, plus incidental music |
The final performance will be in
the Wally Green Marquee
on Friday 20th June 2008.
The tutoring team this year includes David Francis, Rod
Paterson, Gill Bowman, Ali Leith and Christine Kydd.
