The staff asks a great deal of this group of students and they have never failed to deliver. Article submitted by the school Drama is flourishing at Brooklyn District School. There has been a very active drama club over the past three years. The club has developed presentations for Remembrance Day, created collectives and produced musicals. This year Tom Sawyer is being presented.
Rehearsals take place twice weekly.
Plans for the set and costumes are already being made. Parents, community residents and staff all contribute to this event which takes place in June. Through a short term study leave granted last year, both the teachers and students of grade primary to three were able to learn more about using drama in the classroom. Another in-service allowed teachers of grade 4 to 6 to take drama activities back to their classrooms. This innovative style of teaching helps to foster creativity, develop problem solving skills in students.
