On the 19th November 2014, the year 5.2 students of Ms Sharon Calleja, went on an extremely interesting outing at the Drama Unit in Blata l-Bajda. First the children talked about musical instruments and how they are played. They mentioned the wind instruments, strings and percussions. Then, they played a game called Maestro where they imitated playing a particular instrument and made sounds that mimic the sound made by that instrument.  In another activity, the children were given flashcards with pictures of different musical instruments. In pairs they mimed how to play that instrument and the rest of the children had to guess which instrument it was. Later the students went to the theatre and watched a group of actors gathering for rehearsals and discussing how to go about the play they should perform. Finally, the students saw the actual play about Ulysses being performed and they were involved in the play by playing the musical instruments during the performance when instructed to do so. This was a very enjoyable experience for everyone 🙂
