Year 5 Orchard Class Used Drama To Explore Narrative - Beowulf

Orchard Class have been reading Beowulf as our key text for this term. We recapped the story's key characters and events. From this we created a brief overview of the story, and then chose a part of the story to act out in a group. We thought carefully about how the different characters would stand, how they would position their bodies and their facial expressions. As a group, we then froze and the teacher tapped us to hear who our character was and what we were thinking and feeling at that moment. 

Can you identify which event of Beowulf each of us were acting out?
