Billy's bucket drama

 We had some great drama sessions based on the wonderful story of Billy's bucket.

At first teacher pretended that she was Billy.  We were Billy's parents and we tried to persuade Billy not to choose a bucket for his birthday.

Next  teacher pretended to be Billy and he was choosing a bucket from the bucket shop.  We were the buckets and we had to persuade Billy that each of us was the bucket for him.

Once we had bought the bucket, we each looked into the bucket and told teacher of the sea creatures we could see in it.

Today we dove into the magic bucket and swam to the bottom of the sea. We had to use our own sign language to communicate with our friends while we were diving.

 Here you can see us showing each other what we collected from the bottom of the sea.

Then Dad (teacher) tried to persuade us to lend him the bucket.  We were able to give him lots of reasons why he couldn't.

 Unfortunately Dad did borrow the bucket, and look what happened.  When he went to wash the car, all the sea creatures got splashed onto the land.  Look at us, we really looked like sea creatures.

In the end we all had to dive back into the bucket to get back to the sea.

We really loved this story and all the drama sessions that went with it.
