Townfield Primary School3S - History: Shang Dynasty Drama Workshop
Lesson: History
Class: 3S - Mrs Simmons Year: 2023 - 2024
We all enjoyed a wonderful drama workshop today held by Altru Education. In History, this term, we are learning about the Shang Dynasty. We have only had one lesson so far but Lucy from Altru was very impressed about what we already knew from our first lesson. We told her all about Cheng Tang, the first Emperor of the Shang Dynasty, that he created his civilisation along the Yellow River and the reasons why he was a popular Emperor.
Lucy started off the workshop with some exciting games all about the hierarchy in the Shang Dynasty then we created freeze frames in groups to learn all about Fu Hao and the power she had during the Shang Dynasty. We then talked about the hierarchy again and how different people were treated. In groups, we created our own sketches and learnt poems to act out. Finally, we talked about and created freeze frames for the end of the Shang Dynasty.
We hope you enjoy looking through the photos and videos.
