How to greet a Stig
Hello Zara here, Monday we came in as usual, it was the first day back after holiday.
First Joyce introduced Stig of the Dump, we are looking at it at the moment. It’s about Barney, he is a small boy who is living with his Grandma and his sister called Lou – she picks on him a bit. Then he meets Stig when he falls down a chalk pit into the dump where Stig lives. Stig is a kind of hairy man that can’t talk – so we did a scene about how to greet a Stig.
Wednesday was Rachel’s dance class, we did a movement on the floor where we had to close our eyes. It was a bit scary because you don’t know who’s around you. Then we read some more of Stig of the Dump, we looked at the characters and thought about what they are like and how they move. We’re working on Stig because it’s going out on tour in the Autumn. I think it’s a good story, it’s exciting – we did a dance sequence based on Stig last year with Rio so we know it a bit.
Hi Zara,
What a lovely piece you have written, I love stig of the dump too.
I love the picture of you as a Thug!
