Amelia Earhart Drama 2017

We are learning all about an amazing woman in History this week. Her name is Amelia Earhart and her nickname is Lady Lindy as she looked a lot like Charles Lindbergh. She was a caring, determined, tenacious and feisty lady! To help us remember all of her amazing  achievements and dates on which she achieved them, we divided into groups and we made up dramas to help us remember and learn about this fantastic lady. Drama really helps us to empathise with the characters we are learning about in History. We love using the props to enhance our dramas.
