Zeraffa Onto The Ship Freeze Framing

Drama is a fantastic way to start a love of writing and reading.

It helps consolidate what is happening in a text and connect with characters too.

We are now studying Zeraffa Giraffa by Dianne Hofmeyr and Jane Ray which explains the true story of when a giraffe was captured in Sudan and sent to the King of France as a present.

We played the parts of Zeraffa and her keeper Atir, a hunter and the monkey on the ship.

We had to sometimes freeze and explain how our character was feeling.
