TEACHERS' NOTES FOR THIS CLIP

DRAMA ACTIVITIES:
1. Solo - individual imagination: the drama session begins with the 鈥榮ignal鈥. Each of the six audio clips begins and ends with the same signal.
Kelly asks the members of the group to put on their 鈥榁R helmets鈥. Then they listen to: i) a short sequence of a dinosaur; ii) a battle scene between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings - with the listeners adopting the role of Anglo-Saxons.

GUIDANCE:
1. Make sure everyone is sitting in their own space before starting. The sound of Kerry鈥檚 voice changes as children put on their 鈥榁R helmets鈥 to show that Kerry is now being heard from the earpiece inside their helmets.
The aim of the first activity is to get the children to engage with the idea of 鈥榮eeing鈥 things using their 鈥榁R helmets鈥. Join in alongside the children if you think it will aid their commitment to the shared fiction.
The first activity is purely imaginative - 鈥榮eeing鈥 a dinosaur as it moves across a swamp.
Shortly after there is a battle sequence between Anglo-Saxons and Vikings. Everyone must be ready to jump up swiftly and give battle. The battle lasts about 15鈥.
