Primary School" --- # Dramatic drama, Curiosity!! ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0024.JPG) 2 October 2026 [Nicola Lawson](https://www.ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/author/nlawson) [Year 5 Blog](https://www.ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/category/year-5-blog) As part of our Writing curriculum, Year 5 have been reading through our class novel called “Curiosity, a story of the Mars Rover”. Pupils have been working extremely hard to investigate the different themes and technical language used throughout the text, and are now preparing to plan and write our ‘big write’ that combines all of their learning. So, in order to get better involved in the role as the Mars Rover, pupils have been using drama and freeze frames to bring different scenes to life. I hope everyone enjoys the photos, as much as the pupils did creating them.
