LITERATURE AND MUSIC

 In conjunction to the unit under the Transdisciplinary theme ‘How we express ourselves’ students  were engaged in a musical role play called ‘The Ginger Bread Man’ where individual students used their creativity to express their ideas and feelings. This musical play helped students realize that dialogues, narration, musical scores and lyrics are very much part of our lives and that its presence in literature can help readers relate to fictional situations and characters. They discussed about ways they can express ideas, feelings and at the same time enjoy their creativity. This was followed by a listening activity where students listened to a musical theatre story ‘Thumbelina’ which included music orchestrations by Elliot Lawrence, narrations by Del Sharbutt and songs such as ‘ Sleep well my pretty little bird’.
