As part of our literacy work we have been learning about stories from other cultures. We have been reading One Thousand and One Arabian Nights by Geraldine McCaughrean. In this book Shahrazad tells King Sharhryar a story every night to postpone her execution. It includes stories like Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba. As many of theses stories are often reproduced as pantomimes we thought we would write our own.
We decided what we thought the features of pantomimes are and drew up a list. We used this list to write our pantomimes, always checking that we were including all the features.
As we got more excited about our work we decided to act them out. This actually helped with our writing and we began to edit and improve our work as we went along.
When we performed our pantomimes to the class there was lots of booing and hissing to be heard!
